Abstract
The observed brightness of the Tully-Fisher relation suggests a low stellar M/L ratio and a “bottom-light” IMF in disc galaxies, but the corresponding efficiency of chemical enrichment tends to exceed the observational estimates. Either suitable tuning of the IMF slope and mass limits or metal outflows from disc galaxies must then be invoked.
