Let a disk contain fraction of its host mass and let its edge specific angular momentum be . With halo relation and disk geometry coefficient , combining centrifugal balance and the edge angular momentum gives the displayed estimates. The coefficient records the radial mass profile and thickness: enclosed mass does not determine a disc rotation curve. Treating as a monopole estimate must not be mistaken for an exact thin-disk theorem.
