Measuring galaxy rotation curves is critical for inferring the properties of dark-matter haloes in the Lambda Cold Dark Matter ($Λ$CDM) paradigm. We present HI rotation curves and mass models for 20 galaxies from the MIGHTEE survey. Using extended HI kinematics, we construct resolved mass models that include stellar, gaseous, and dark-matter components. Stellar masses are derived using 3.6 $μ$m imaging under fixed mass-to-light ratio ($Υ_{*} = M/L$) assumptions and are complemented, for the first time for a HI-selected sample, by spatially resolved $M/L$, obtained from multi-wavelength SED fitting. We examine the ratio of baryonic to observed rotation velocity ($V_{\rm bar}/V_{\rm obs}$) at the characteristic radius $R_{2.2}$. Adopting a fixed $Υ_\star = 0.5\,M_\odot/L_\odot$ yields a clear dependence of $V_{2.2}/V_{\rm obs}$ on galaxy luminosity, while adopting $Υ_\star = 0.2\,M_\odot/L_\odot$ substantially weakens this trend. In contrast, the resolved $M/L$ analysis preserves the luminosity dependence while modifying the stellar contribution on a galaxy-by-galaxy basis, providing a more accurate representation of the underlying relation. We model the dark-matter haloes using Navarro-Frenk-White profiles and find that the different assumptions for a fixed a $M/L$ systematically shift galaxies relative to the theoretical stellar-to-halo mass and baryonic-to-halo mass relations, while the spatially varying $M/L$ yields the closest agreement with theoretical benchmarks within $Λ$CDM. We therefore demonstrate that future investigations of the dark matter properties of galaxies using rotation curves need to account for varying $M/L$ across individual galaxy profiles and between galaxies in order to obtain accurate measurements of the dark matter, and therefore test $Λ$CDM.

当暗物质粒子是自相互作用玻色子但不自湮灭时,我们计算了中子星在其一生中围绕星系中心旋转时积累的暗物质粒子的数量。我们考虑到暗物质与重子物质的相互作用和暗物质球在中子星内坍缩时的时间演化。我们发现,暗物质的自相互作用在中子星核心的暗物质的快速积累中起着重要的作用。我们认为,根据对具有强暗物质自相互作用的老中子星的观测,确定暗物质质量和暗物质相互作用截面的参数空间的排斥区域的可能性。我们发现,对于暗物质密度$~10^3$ GeV/cm $^3$和暗物质质量$m_χ$小于约10 GeV,有一个潜在的排斥区域的暗物质与核子的相互作用是三个数量级更严格的比没有自相互作用。暗物质自相互作用截面的潜在排斥区比目前的子弹星系团极限强许多个数量级。例如,对于高暗物质密度区域,我们发现,对于$m_χ\sim 10$ GeV,当暗物质与核子的相互作用截面范围从$σ_{χn}\sim 10^{-52}$ cm $^2$到$10^{-57}$ cm $^2$时,暗物质自相互作用截面极限为$σ_{χχ}< 10^{-33}$ cm $^2$,这比子弹团极限强约10个数量级。
