Abstract
A systematic variation of the dark matter abundance in spiral galaxies, previously reported (Persic & Salucci), accounts for the observed non-linearity of the Tully–Fisher relation. Increasing proportions of dark mass at low luminosities, as revealed by optical rotation curves, make faint galaxies shift to higher rotation velocities for a given luminosity, thus inducing a curvature in the velocity–luminosity correlation.
