Abstract
The main point of this work is to emphasize the fact that the estimation of the mass content of a dark matter halo must be done in a consistent way with the nature of the dark matter. In general relativity, depending on how dark matter nature is modelled, different expressions arise for the computation of the mass and the deflection of light. Here we present the comparison of the mass estimated by assuming two different dark matter models, the first one in which dark matter is modelled by a perfect fluid and the second in which it is modelled by a scalar field, but assuming they both reproduce the same rotation curve and discuss the consequences for the lensing observations.
