Kinematic measurements of gas and stars in spiral galaxies
In this article we first give a brief historically based survey of kinematic observations, essentially of rotation curves, of spiral galaxies produced as techniques have advanced and new wavelength ranges have opened up. We then describe the basic inferences from kinematic measurements relevant to galactic structure: the rotational velocity and the
