Abstract
This contribution concerns velocity fields of galaxies and other objects in which the kinematics can be described by a rotating disk with radial symmetry around the center. It should be emphasized, however, that the method presented here is probably also applicable in a number of different astronomical situations, but it was primarily developed for disk-like spiral galaxies.
