We use optical, long-slit rotation curves to derive the slope of the central density profile in three blue disk galaxies with very faint central surface brightness values. We find the result to be in conflict with current cold dark matter predictions and to lend further support for pseudo-isothermal spheres as superior models for the dark halos of galaxies.
