Best‐fit mass models using MOND and two different values of a0: a0 = 1.2 × 10−13 km s−12 from Begeman, Broeils, & Sanders 1991; (dotted line) and the best‐fit value (see Table 7; continuous line). Filled circles represent the data used in the fits (H I + Hα for NGC 3109 and 5585 and H I only for IC 2574 and NGC 3198). Open circles indicate Hα velocities not used in the fits.
