Good one! lol

Yesterday, I was going to ask about whether the leading outer spiral arms would persist now that they are well formed, but I got the answer from the link in your last post, Dennis.
Quote:
The leading arms may be allowed to persist because NGC 4622 is dark halo dominated (i.e., not "maximum disk" in the inner regions) and displays a significantly rising rotation curve.
Thanks! And glad to hear you are feeling well and have a grip on the MS!!
