Disk Peak Velocity 165.2 km/s Baryonic mass dominant peak
DM Halo v @ 20 kpc 210.4 km/s NFW profile contribution
Total v @ 20 kpc 232.8 km/s Canonical proof point
Flatness Ratio (v30 / vpeak) 0.94 0.9+ signifies flat halo curve
Physics Principle: Standard Newtonian mechanics predicts that beyond the luminous disk, stellar orbital speed should decay as v(r) ∝ 1/√r (Keplerian decline). Observed flat galactic rotation curves prove the presence of an extended, massive Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) Dark Matter Halo envelopment.
