Rotation curve (defined as ﹩V_{c}=\{ M[ ( r< R) / R] \} ^{1/2}﹩) for all components (solid line), stars (dashed line) and DM (dot‐dashed line) for the ΛCDM galaxy (left) and for the ΛWDM galaxy (right) at ﹩z=0﹩. The stellar kinematics are also shown: the rotational velocity is indicated by the filled circles, while the (azimuthally averaged) radial velocity dispersion in cylindrical coordinates (the z‐axis being chosen along the angular momentum vector of the disk) is shown with open circles.
