Physical Parameters of Late Type Spiral Galaxies I-Mass and Luminosity of NGC 6946

Using Brandt model the mass distribution of the late type spiral galaxy NGC 6946 was derived, and the total mass was reestimated to understand the M/L ratio of this galaxy. Two kinds of the rotation curve with shape parameter n = 1 and 3.3 were examined. The followings are the main results; (1) The...
