Let
a
disc
contain
fraction
f
d
of total halo
mass
, take its edge
gravity
to be
v
d
2
=
C
d
G
M
d
/
R
d
, and equate its edge
specific angular momentum
to
q
R
h
v
vir
. With
v
vir
2
=
G
M
h
/
R
h
, these conditions give
R
h
/
R
d
=
C
d
f
d
/
q
2
. The structural
coefficient
C
d
is essential:
disc
mass
alone does not uniquely determine its edge
rotation
curve
.
