dc.descriptionWe have investigated the Tully-Fisher relation for Polar Ring Galaxies (PRGs), based on near infrared, optical and HI data available for a sample of these peculiar objects. Many PRGs show larger HI line-widths than expected for the observed K band luminosity, and this result is confirmed by a larger sample of objects, based on B-band data. This observational evidence may be related to the dark halo shape and orientation in these systems: the larger rotation velocities observed in PRGs can be explained by a flattened polar halo, aligned with the polar ring.
