Maximum of the disk component velocity (left panel) and the inner slope (right panel) as a function of the central value of the M_∗-bins where the mean surface brightness profiles and the stellar contribution to the circular velocity were inferred. The values resulting from the mean and median V_{3.6 μm} are indicated with open and filled circles, respectively. The vertical lines indicate the change in the maximum rotation velocity and the inner velocity gradient when using ⟨V_{3.6 μm}⟩ ± σ instead of ⟨V_{3.6 μm}⟩.
