Scientific paper

Tyson and colleagues deduced bounds on the mass distribution in galaxies, from the (unobserved) distortion of background galaxy images by the gravitational field of foreground galaxies. The authors have checked how critical is their assumption that the background galaxies are at an infinite distance. When the distance distribution of the foreground and background galaxies is taken into account, the upper bounds on the rotation velocities are increased (quite considerably) above those published by Tyson and colleagues in 1984.
