An unmodelled component in spectrographic measurements of local stars

I have redone the test for an unmodelled component in spectrographic
measurements of local stars, but using much more accurate data from the
New Hipparcos Reduction, and a much larger population, as well as
improved discussion of whether some other effect might lead to the test
result.

The idea tested is that the flatness of galaxy rotation curves may not
be resolved by CDM or by MOND, but by overstated heliocentric radial
velocities.

It will be about seven years before Gaia gives direct measurements of
the radial velocity of individual stars. In the meantime, I believe I
have found a clear signature in the data. I do not think there is any
classical explanation for the result, and believe it shows that photons
from distant stars must be treated quantum mechanically. If so, the
implications for cosmology are far reaching.
