Ratio of the observed dark matter mass to the constrained cusp mass as a function of radius. The black (solid), green (dotted), blue (short dashed), and red/magenta (long dashed/dot‐long dashed) lines represent the zero, minimal, popsynth, and maximum disk cases, respectively. Near the centers of the galaxies there is a substantial cusp mass excess with at least 2 times more mass expected in the cuspy halo than is allowed by the data.
