Abstract
We summarize the results of our survey of rotation curves for edge-on galaxies. The observations were carried out with the 6-m Special Astrophysical Observatory telescope. Over the four years of our observations, we obtained spectra for 306 galaxies from the FGC catalog (Karachentsev et al. 1993). Rotation curves and radial velocities are given for 135 galaxies. The median radial velocity of the galaxies studied is 7800 km s−1. Together with the observations performed by other authors with different instruments, this survey allowed us to produce a homogeneous sample of edge-on galaxies from the RFGC catalog (Karachentsev et al. 1999) uniformly distributed over the entire sky and to analyze the velocity field of galaxies on scales up to 100 Mpc.
