The rotation curves of spiral galaxies obey strong scaling relations. These include the Tully-Fisher and baryonic Tully-Fisher relations, and the mass discrepancy--acceleration relation. These relations can be used to place constraints on…
In this work, we aim to advance the Universal Rotation Curve (URC) paradigm by leveraging new data and extending its observational domain. Building on previous studies that established the URC using optical rotation curves reaching the…

The observed strong dark-to-luminous matter coupling suggests the existence of a some functional relation between visible and DM sources which leads to biased Einstein equations. We show that such a bias appears in the case when the…
We use a homogeneous sample of about 1100 rotation curves (RCs) and relative surface photometry to investigate (out to 2 optical radii and over 6 mag) the main mass structure properties of spirals. We confirm the strong dependence on…
Rotation curves of spiral galaxies \emph{i}) fall off much less steeply than the Keplerian curves do, and \emph{ii}) have asymptotic speeds almost proportional to the fourth root of the mass of the galaxy, the Tully-Fisher relation. These…

The rotation curves of disk galaxies exhibit a number of striking regularities. The amplitude of the rotation is correlated with luminosity (Tully-Fisher), the shape of the rotation curve is well predicted by the luminous mass distribution,…

We use the concept of the spiral rotation curves universality to investigate the luminous and dark matter properties of the dwarf disc galaxies in the local volume (size $\sim11$ Mpc). Our sample includes 36 objects with rotation curves…
We discuss the shape and decomposition of rotation curves (RCs) of galaxies formed within growing cold dark matter halos. The outer RC shape correlates mainly with the surface brightness (SB), the luminous mass fraction, fd, and the bulge…
In spiral galaxies, we explain their non-Keplerian rotation curves (RCs) by means of a non-luminous component embedding their stellar-gaseous disks. Understanding the detailed properties of this component (labelled Dark Matter, DM) is one…

Rotation curves of spiral galaxies are known with reasonable precision for a large number of galaxies with similar morphologies. The data implies that non-Keplerian fall--off is seen. This implies that (i) large amounts of dark matter must…
We use high-resolution cosmological simulations that include the effects of gasdynamics and star formation to investigate the origin of the Tully-Fisher relation in the standard Cold Dark Matter cosmogony. Luminosities are computed for each…
We explain flat rotation curves and the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation by a combination of three hypotheses. The first is a formulation of the equivalence principle for gravitationally bound quantum $N$ body systems, while the second is a…
