A rotation curve inequality that holds for spherically symmetric mass distributions is derived, and tested against the SPARC galaxy rotation curves dataset. We identify several Galaxies, e.g. NGC7793 and UGC11557, which are candidates for hosting non-spherical dark matter structures that could be detected by more precise measurements.

Galaxy Rotation Curves Disfavor Traditional and Self-interacting Dark Matter Halos, Preferring a Disk Component or Einasto Function
We use the galaxy rotation curves in the SPARC database to compare nine different dark matter (DM) and modified gravity models on an equal footing, paying special attention to the stellar…

Constraining a Thin Dark Matter Disk with Gaia.
TLDR
The first data release from the Gaia space observatory is used to search for a dark disk via its effect on stellar kinematics in the Milky Way, and new limits disfavor the presence of a thin dark matter disk.
A Comprehensive Catalog of Dark Matter Halo Models for SPARC Galaxies
We present rotation curve fits to 175 late-type galaxies from the Spitzer Photometry & Accurate Rotation Curves (SPARC) database using seven dark matter (DM) halo profiles: pseudo-isothermal (pISO),…

Double-Disk Dark Matter
Color--Mass-to-Light Ratio Relations for Disk Galaxies
We combine Spitzer $3.6\mu$ observations of a sample of disk galaxies spanning over 10 magnitudes in luminosity with optical luminosities and colors to test population synthesis prescriptions for…
Exothermic double-disk dark matter
If a subdominant component of dark matter (DM) interacts via long-range dark force carriers it may cool and collapse to form complex structures within the Milky Way galaxy, such as a rotating dark…
SPARC: Mass Models for 175 Disk Galaxies with Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves
We introduce SPARC (Spitzer Photometry & Accurate Rotation Curves): a sample of 175 nearby galaxies with new surface photometry at 3.6 um and high-quality rotation curves from previous HI/Halpha…
Stellar Populations and the Star Formation Histories of LSB Galaxies: V. WFC3 Color-Magnitude Diagrams
We present WFC3 observations of three low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies from the Schombert et. al LSB catalog that are within 11 Mpc of the Milky Way. Deep imaging at F336W, F555W and F814W allow…
Stellar Populations and the Star Formation Histories of LSB Galaxies: III. Stellar Population Models
Abstract A series of population models are designed to explore the star formation history of gas-rich, low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. LSB galaxies are unique in having properties of very blue…
Rotational properties of 21 SC galaxies with a large range of luminosities and radii, from NGC 4605 /R = 4kpc/ to UGC 2885 /R = 122 kpc/
For 21 Sc galaxies whose properties encompass a wide range of radii, masses, and luminosities, we have obtained major axis spectra extending to the faint outer regions, and have deduced rotation…
