RC slopes vary among galaxies and within them.

They indicate the presence and the amount of dark matter.

At 3 disk length scales

The URC concept ➲ @ fixed L and x=R/RD, the Cosmic Variance of V(x,L) is

one order of magnitude smaller than the variations that:

➲in each galaxy, V(x) shows as x varies.

➲V(x) shows, @ each x, in galaxies of different L

• Fit badly the RCs

• Unphysically too low stellar mass-to-light ratios

• Unphysically too high halo masses
