Dynamical Mass Estimation

Dynamical Mass Estimation is a methodological framework in astrophysics that infers the total mass distribution of a gravitating system, such as a galaxy, by analyzing the observed kinematical motions of its stellar or gaseous components under the assumption of gravitational equilibrium.
