Tohline Visits CIW:DTM

In early February, 1980 — while I held a J. Willard Gibbs instructorship in the astronomy department at Yale University — I visited the Carnegie Institution of Washington's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism (CIW:DTM) in Washington, DC to meet and interact with Vera Rubin and her research group. During that visit, I had the opportunity to present an informal talk in which I pitched the idea that flat rotation curves in galaxies might be explained by modifying Newton's law of gravity at large distances. This is the idea that I first presented in a more formal manner at the IAU Symposium #100 in a paper titled, Stabilizing a Cold Disk with a 1/r Force Law.
