Luminosity - velocity diagrams of virgo cluster spiral galaxies

Luminosity-velocity diagrams for 12 spiral galaxies in the Virgo cluster are presented. Optical rotation curves obtained for the innermost portions of eight galaxies, complemented with velocity data from the literature, are coupled with luminosity growth curves to investigate the distance indication...
