Lines
from disks
€Each part of the disk has a particular velocity and brightness
€Line profiles can be constructed from adding contributions from each part
€Conversely, the brightness from each velocity zone can be determined from the profile:
Doppler Tomography
€If there is a relationship between the velocity and the location in the disk, (such as Keplerian motion, or free-fall within the Roche lobe, then can map further from
velocity to
spatial coordinates
