Math behind converting kinematic radial velocities of clouds to

I am interested in studying how to convert radial velocity data on hydrogen, CO and molecular clouds in the Milky Way into galactic x-y spatial maps. I have a general understanding of Oort constants. Would someone please post some article or book references that I can use as a study starting point? Thanks - Kurt Any decent galactic dynamics book will cover this. A good one to start with would be _Galactic Astronomy_ by Binney & Merrifield. (ISBN 0-691-02565-7, Princeton University Press.) - Marshall |

Thanks Prof. Wright, that was right on the money. - Kurt See Eqn(8) in my Astro 140 notes (pages 6-10 are relevant), reachable via http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/cosmolog.htm Try to do Problem 4 in PS#2 at http://www.physics.ucla.edu/class/03...ework/ps2.html --Edward L.
