van den Bosch & Swaters (2000): high-quality HI rotation curves

Good fits: UGC6446.gif (11779 bytes) UGC 6446: C=7-15 alpha=-1 Vcirc=60km/s 

        Curves on left: M/L=0,2,4. 

        Curves on right: M/L=1, slope= 0(solid) -1(short-dash). HI: dot-short-dash). Stars: dot-long-dash

 

  Bad fits:  UGC5414b.gif (12595 bytes) UGC 5414: Vcirc=60km/s nothing fits (even a flat core alpha=0)

Conclusion: 70% are fit with LCDM, the rest can not be fit with anything.
