Caption: Figure 13.

Degeneracy of the scale velocity and scale radius in the logarithmic dark matter model. The insert panel enlarges the inner region marked by the dashed rectangle box. Each line represents a mass distribution of a logarithmic model. Dashed lines are models with V_L = 650 km s⁻¹, and solid lines are models with V_S = 550 km s⁻¹. Black indicates R_L = 53 kpc and red indicates R_S = 28.6 kpc. (The subscript S indicates "smaller" and L is "larger.")
