    Two Dimensional Velocity Fields of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies
    (EDP Sciences, 2005) Kuzio de Naray, R.; McGaugh, S. S.; de Blok, W. J. G.; Bosma, A.
    We present high resolution two dimensional velocity fields from integral field spectroscopy along with derived rotation curves for nine low surface brightness galaxies. This is a positive step forward in terms of both data quality and number of objects studied. We fit NFW and pseudo-isothermal halo models to the observations. We find that the pseudo-isothermal halo better represents the data in most cases than the NFW halo, as the resulting concentrations are lower than would be expected for CDM.
