Abstract

Dynamical modeling of stellar disks without bulges is used to derive the dependence of the central stellar radial-velocity dispersion on the dark-halo mass. A sample of late-type galaxies with known central stellar velocity dispersions and maximum gas rotation velocities was drawn from the LEDA database. The sample-averaged ratio of the halo mass within four radial disk scale lengths to the disk mass is 80%. Objects whose halo mass can be a factor of 2 or more larger than the disk mass were identified.
