Selecting a baryonic mass Mb​ from a normalized cumulative distribution Mb​(<j)∝j fixes a cutoff specific angular momentum jd​=(Mb​/Mb,tot​)jvir​. With circular support and dominant enclosed baryonic gravity, the outer radius is rd​≃jd2​/(GMb​) and speed vd​≃GMb​/jd​. The mean specific angular momentum is jd​/2, which defines a different one-zone radius. The estimate assumes energy dissipation but negligible redistribution of specific angular momentum.
