In the last 20 years, rotation curves derived from H I kinematics obtained on radio synthesis instruments were used to probe the dark matter distribution in spiral and dwarf irregular galaxies. It is shown, with the aid of the Sd galaxy NGC 5585, that high resolution 2--D H II kinematics is necessary to determine accurately the mass distribution of spirals. New CFHT Fabry--Perot Hff observations are combined with low resolution Westerbork H I data to study its mass distribution. Using the combined rotation curve and best fit models, it can be seen that the (M/LB) of the luminous disk goes from 0.3, using only the H I rotation curve, to 0.8, using both the optical and the radio data. This reduces the dark--to--luminous mass ratio by 30%.

We present optical longslit spectroscopic observations of 21 low-luminosity, extreme late-type spiral galaxies. Our sample is comprised of Sc-Sm Local Supercluster spirals with moderate-to-low optical surface brightnesses and with luminosities at the
low end for spiral disk galaxies (M_V>-18.8). For each galaxy we have measured high spatial resolution position-velocity (P-V) curves using the H alpha emission line, and for 15 of the galaxies we also derive major axis rotation curves. In ~50% of our sample, the P-V curves show significant asymmetries in shape, extent, and/or amplitude on the approaching and receding sides of the disk. A number of the P-V curves are still rising to the last measured point, or reach a clear turnover on only one side. In most instances we find good agreement between the kinematic centers of extreme late-type spirals as defined by the global HI emission profile and by their optical continuum, although in a few cases we see evidence of possible real offsets. In spite of their shallow central gravitational potentials, at least 6 of the galaxies in our sample possess semi-stellar nuclei that appear to be compact nuclear star clusters; in 5 of these cases we see kinematic signatures in the P-V curves at the location of the nucleus. Finally, we find that like giant spirals, our sample galaxies have higher specific angular momenta than predicted by current cold dark matter models.
We study the kinematics and scaling relations of a sample of 43 giant spiral galaxies that have stellar masses exceeding $10^{11}$ $M_odot$ and optical discs up to 80 kpc in radius. We use a hybrid 3D-1D approach to fit 3D kinematic models to long-sl
it observations of the H$alpha$-[NII] emission lines and we obtain robust rotation curves of these massive systems. We find that all galaxies in our sample seem to reach a flat part of the rotation curve within the outermost optical radius. We use the derived kinematics to study the high-mass end of the two most important scaling relations for spiral galaxies: the stellar/baryonic mass Tully-Fisher relation and the Fall (mass-angular momentum) relation. All galaxies in our sample, with the possible exception of the two fastest rotators, lie comfortably on both these scaling relations determined at lower masses, without any evident break or bend at the high-mass regime. When we combine our high-mass sample with lower-mass data from the Spitzer Photometry & Accurate Rotation Curves catalog, we find a slope of $alpha=4.25pm0.19$ for the stellar Tully-Fisher relation and a slope of $gamma=0.64pm0.11$ for the Fall relation. Our results indicate that most, if not all, of these rare, giant spiral galaxies are scaled
We analyzed ionized gas motion and disk orientation parameters for 15 spiral galaxies. Their velocity fields were measured with the H-alpha emission line by using the Fabry-Perot interferometer at the 6m telescope of SAO RAS. Special attention is pai
d to the problem of estimating the position angle of the major axis (PA_0) and the inclination (i) of a disk, which strongly affect the derived circular rotation velocity. We discuss and compare different methods of obtaining these parameters from kinematic and photometric observations, taking into account the presence of regular velocity (brightness) perturbations caused by spiral density waves. It is shown that the commonly used method of tilted rings may lead to systematic errors in the estimation of orientation parameters (and hence of circular velocity) being applied to galaxies with an ordered spiral structure. Instead we recommend using an assumption of constancy of i and PA_0 along a radius, to estimate these parameters. For each galaxy of our sample we present monochromatic H-alpha- and continuum maps, velocity fields of ionized gas, and the mean rotation curves in the frame of a model of pure circular gas motion. Significant deviations from circular motion with amplitudes of several tens of km/s (or higher) are found in almost all galaxies. The character and possible nature of the non-circular motion are briefly discussed.
A homogeneous sample of ~2200 low redshift disk galaxies with both high sensitivity long-slit optical spectroscopy and detailed I-band photometry is used to construct average, or template, rotation curves in separate luminosity classes, spanning 6 ma
gnitudes in I-band luminosity. The template rotation curves are expressed as functions both of exponential disk scale lengths r_d and of optical radii Ropt, and extend out to 4.5-6.5 r_d, depending on the luminosity bin. The two parameterizations yield slightly different results beyond Ropt because galaxies whose Halpha emission can be traced to larger extents in the disks are typically of higher optical surface brightness and are characterized by larger values of Ropt/r_d. By either parameterization, these template rotation curves show no convincing evidence of velocity decline within the spatial scales over which they are sampled, even in the case of the most luminous systems. In contrast to some previous expectations, the fastest rotators (most luminous galaxies) have, on average, rotation curves that are flat or mildly rising beyond the optical radius, implying that the dark matter halo makes an important contribution to the kinematics also in these systems. The template rotation curves and the derived functional fits provide quantitative constraints for studies of the structure and evolution of disk galaxies, which aim at reproducing the internal kinematics properties of disks at the present cosmological epoch.
We investigate a sub-sample of the rotation curves consisting of 45 HSB non-bulgy spiral galaxies selected from SPARC (Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves) database by using two dark halo models (NFW and Burkert) and MOdified Newtonian Dy
namics (MOND) theory. Among these three models, the core-dominated Burkert halo model provides a better description of the observed data ($chi_{ u}^2$ = 0.33) than Navarro, Frenk and White (NFW, $chi_{ u}^2$= 0.45) and MOND model ($chi_{ u}^2$ = 0.58). So our results show that, for dark halo models, the selected 45 HSB non-bulgy spiral galaxies prefer a cored density profile to the cuspy one (NFW); We also positively find that there is a correlation between $rho_0$ and $r_0$ in Burkert model. For MOND fits, when we take $a_0$ as a free parameter, there is no obvious correlation between $a_0$ and disk central surface brightness at 3.6 $mu m$ of these HSB spiral galaxies, which is in line with the basic assumption of MOND that $a_0$ should be a universal constant. Interestingly, our fittings gives $a_0$ an average value of $(0.74 pm 0.45) times 10^{- 8}rm {cm s^{- 2}}$ if we exclude the three highest values in the sample, which is smaller than the standard value ($1.21 times 10^{-8}rm {cm s^{- 2}}$).
