Scientific paper

We test the halo dominated mass model, recently proposed for high-luminosity
galaxies by Courteau & Rix (1998), against rotation velocity data for a large
sample of L_* spirals. We find that this model does not reproduce the general
kinematic properties required. The alternative disc dominated model, on the
contrary, easily fits the data.
