We test the halo dominated mass model, recently proposed for high-luminosity galaxies, against the rotation velocity data of a large sample of L similar to L* spirals. We find that this model does not reproduce the general kinematic properties required. The alternative disc dominated model, on the contrary, easily fits the data.

Abstract
We test the halo dominated mass model, recently proposed for high-luminosity galaxies, against the rotation velocity data of a large sample of L similar to L* spirals. We find that this model does not reproduce the general kinematic properties required. The alternative disc dominated model, on the contrary, easily fits the data.File in questo prodotto:
