In an important paper co-authored with astronomer Vera Rubin in 1970, [6] and a follow-up paper in 1980, [7] Rubin and Ford established that the orbits of stars around the center of galaxies (the "galaxy rotation curve") does not decrease with distance from the galactic center, as expected from Kepler's rotation law, but remains constant (or "flat") with distance.
She used galaxies' rotations to discover the first direct evidence of dark matter in the 1970s while working at the Carnegie Institution in Washington. Vera Rubin, pioneering U.S. dark matter ...
