The dark matter distribution in dwarf galaxies: a contribution to the cusp-core discussion

In order to model the distribution of dark matter in dwarf galaxies the HI velocity field of six dwarf galaxies has been analyzed. The harmonic decomposition used insures a proper consideration of velocity contributions introduced by non/circular motions. It is shown, that in all cases studied the resulting "isothermal" model describes the mass distribution better than the NFW profile.
