In this paper we derive a novel circular velocity relation for a test particle in a 3D gravitational potential applicable to every system of curvilinear coordinates, suitable to be reduced to orthogonal form. As an illustration of the potentiality of the determined circular velocity expression we perform the rotation curves analysis of UGC 8490 and UGC 9753 and we estimate the total and dark matter mass of these two galaxies under the assumption that their respective dark matter halos have spherical, prolate and oblate spheroidal mass distributions. We employ stellar population synthesis models and the total HI density map to obtain the stellar and HI+He+metals rotation curves of both galaxies. The subtraction of the stellar plus gas rotation curves from the observed rotation curves of UGC 8490 and UGC 9753 generates the dark matter circular velocity curves of both galaxies. We fit the dark matter rotation curves of UGC 8490 and UGC 9753 through the newly established circular velocity formula specialised to the spherical, prolate and oblate spheroidal mass distributions, considering the Navarro, Frenk and White, Burkert, Di Cintio, Einasto and Stadel dark matter halos. Our principal findings are the following: globally, cored dark matter profiles Burkert and Einasto prevail over cuspy Navarro, Frenk and White and Di Cintio. Also, spherical/oblate dark matter models fit better the dark matter rotation curves of both galaxies than prolate dark matter halos.

In the first part of this article we expand three fundamental aspects of the methodology connected to the determination of a relation among the spatial density and the gravitational potential that can be specialised to distinct mass density agglomera tions. As a consequence, we obtain general relations for the diagonal entries of a square symmetric matrix without zeros, we provide an expression of the gravitational potential, suitable, to represent several different mass density configurations, and we determine relations for the semi-axes of a triaxial spheroidal mass distribution, as a function of the spheroid mass density, volume density and radius. In the second part of this manuscript, we employ the tools developed in the first part, to analyse the mass density content and the inner and global structure of the dark matter haloes of UGC 8490 and UGC 9753, through the fits to the dark matter rotation curves of the two galaxies, assuming a triaxial spheroidal dark matter mass configuration. We employ the Navarro Frenk and White, Burkert, DiCintio, Einasto and Stadel dark matter models, and we obtain that both a cored Burkert and cuspy DiCintio and Navarro Frenk and White inward dark matter distributions could represent equally well the observed data, furthermore we determine an oblate spheroidal dark matter mass density configuration for UGC 8490 and UGC 9753. The latter outcome is confirmed by the estimation of the gravitational torques exerted by the dark matter halo of each analysed galaxy, on the corresponding baryonic components.
In this work we study the mass distribution of two irregular galaxies, UGC 6446 and UGC 7524, by means of HI rotation curves derived from high resolution HI velocity fields obtained through the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope data archive. We co nstrain the stellar and gas content of both galaxies with stellar population synthesis models and by deriving the HI+He+metals rotation curves from the total HI surface density maps, respectively. The discrepancy between the circular velocity maxima of the stellar plus the HI+He+metals rotation curves and the observed HI rotation curves of both galaxies requires the inclusion of a substantial amount of dark matter. We explore the Navarro Frenk and White, Burkert, Di Cintio, Einasto and Stadel dark matter halo models. We obtain acceptable fits to the observed HI rotation curves of UGC 6446 and UGC 7524 with the cored Burkert, Einasto and Stadel dark matter halos. In particular, Einasto and Stadel models prove to be an appropriate alternative to the Burkert dark matter halo. This result should increase the empirical basis that justify the usage of dark matter exponential models to adjust the observed rotation curves of real galaxies.
In this article we investigate the outer and inner mass distributions of the irregular galaxies UGC 4284 and UGC 11861, taking advantage of published HI and H{alpha} high resolution rotation curves and constraining the stellar disk of both galaxies t hroughout stellar population synthesis studies. In addition we take into account the gas content of both galaxies deriving the HI+He rotation curve. The deduced baryonic rotation curves (star+gas) are inadequate to account for the total mass of UGC 4284 and UGC 11861, for that reason we examine the possibility of dark matter to explain the incongruity between the observed HI and H{alpha} rotation curves of UGC 4284 and UGC 11861 and the derived baryonic rotation curves. We consider NFW, Burkert, DiCintio, Einasto, and the Stadel dark matter halos, to analyse the dark matter content of UGC 4284 and UGC 11861. The principal results of this work are that cored dark matter models better reproduce the dark matter H{alpha} and HI rotation curves of UGC 11861 and the dark matter HI rotation curve of UGC 4284, while, the H{alpha} rotation curve of UGC 4284 is better reproduced by a cuspy DiCintio DM model. In general, cored exponential two-parameters models Einasto and Stadel, give better fits than Burkert. This trend, as well as to confirm past results, presents for the first time a comparison between two different exponential dark matter models, Einasto and Stadel, in an attempt to better constrain the range of possible exponential dark matter models applied to real galaxies.
We present the results of a recent reverberation mapping campaign for UGC 06728, a nearby low-luminosity Seyfert 1 in a late-type galaxy. Nightly monitoring in the spring of 2015 allowed us to determine an H$beta$ time delay of $tau = 1.4 pm 0.8$ day s. Combined with the width of the variable H$beta$ line profile, we determine a black hole mass of $M_{rm BH} = (7.1 pm 4.0) times 10^5$ M$_{odot}$. We also constrain the bulge stellar velocity dispersion from higher-resolution long slit spectroscopy along the galaxy minor axis and find $sigma_{star} = 51.6 pm 4.9$ km s$^{-1}$. The measurements presented here are in good agreement with both the $R_{rm BLR} - L$ relationship and the $M_{rm BH}-sigma_{star}$ relationship for AGNs. Combined with a previously published spin measurement, our mass determination for UGC 06728 makes it the lowest-mass black hole that has been fully characterized, and thus an important object to help anchor the low-mass end of black hole evolutionary models.
Dwarf Irregular galaxies (dIrrs) are the smallest stellar systems with extended HI discs. The study of the kinematics of such discs is a powerful tool to estimate the total matter distribution at these very small scales. In this work, we study the HI kinematics of 17 galaxies extracted from the `Local Irregulars That Trace Luminosity Extremes, The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (LITTLE THINGS). Our approach differs significantly from previous studies in that we directly fit 3D models (two spatial dimensions plus one spectral dimension) using the software $^text{3D}$BAROLO, fully exploiting the information in the HI datacubes. For each galaxy we derive the geometric parameters of the HI disc (inclination and position angle), the radial distribution of the surface density, the velocity-dispersion ($sigma_v$) profile and the rotation curve. The circular velocity (V$_{text{c}}$), which traces directly the galactic potential, is then obtained by correcting the rotation curve for the asymmetric drift. As an initial application, we show that these dIrrs lie on a baryonic Tully-Fisher relation in excellent agreement with that seen on larger scales. The final products of this work are high-quality, ready-to-use kinematic data ($textrm{V}_textrm{c}$ and $sigma_v$) that we make publicly available. These can be used to perform dynamical studies and improve our understanding of these low-mass galaxies.
