Scientific paper

Here we argue that an azimuthal magnetic field can carry slightly
ionized gas with the general galactic rotation, rendering dark matter
unnecessary. For the illustrative case of M31, a magnetic field of 6
micro-G is required, and the synchrotron emission of relativistic
electrons in this field is compatible with the observations.
