Isothermal and NFW halo fits for UGC 4325. The green dotted line is the rotation curve of the gas disk, the gold short‐dashed line is the rotation curve of the stellar disk, the blue long‐dashed line is the rotation curve of the dark matter halo, and the red solid line is the total model curve. The velocity contribution from both the stars and gas is ignored in the zero disk case. The minimal disk case considers the gas contribution and assumes a lightweight IMF for the stars. The popsynth case includes the gas contribution and uses population synthesis models to determine the stellar contribution. The maximum disk case includes the gas contribution, and the stellar mass‐to‐light ratio is scaled up as far as the data will allow.
