Asymmetric rotation curve extracted from the perturbed halo potential (lopsided halo potential) model and from the observational data (Kepley et al. 2007) for the approaching and the receding sides of WLM. A perturbed halo potential (a global m = 1 mode in the potential) can create kinematical asymmetry between two halves of galaxy. By comparing the shape of rotation curve and asymmetry between approaching side and receding side obtained from lopsided halo potential model with the shape of observed rotation curves for two sides of this galaxy, we can see the good agreement between corresponding gas kinematics of a perturbed halo potential and the observed gas kinematics.
