Kinematic evidence for a relativistic Keplerian disk - Arp 102BLine profiles were calculated for a Keplerian disk with allowance made for relativistic effects. Excellent agreement was found between the resulting double peaked asymmetric profiles and the H-alpha line of Arp 102B; this yielded an accurate determination of several disk parameters. It is believed that the line profile of Arp 102B shows the most convincing direct kinematic evidence for rotation in any AGN.
