I will present the results of an unconventional\, visualisation-driven an alysis of 33 low-mass field galaxies from the APOSTLE suite of galaxy form ation simulations exploring the limits of the validity of this assumption. Only 4/33 galaxies have HI rotation curves nearly equal to their circular velocity curves\; the rest are undergoing a wide variety of dynamical per turbations of both secular and environmental origin. While some types of p erturbations\, such as ongoing mergers\, have obvious observable signature s\, others\, such as wind from motion through the intergalactic medium\, a re much more subtle. Discrepancies between the rotation curves and circula r velocity curves of low-mass galaxies have direct consequences for key re sults in near-field cosmology. They likely lead to an overestimation of th e low-velocity end of the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation that is difficult to avoid (even by attempting to select 'equilibrium' galaxies)\, and coul d plausibly be the source of a significant portion of the observed diversi ty in low-mass galaxy rotation curve shapes.\n\nhttps://iaus379.aip.de/eve nt/20/contributions/277/ LOCATION:Haus H\, Telegrafenberg URL:https://iaus379.aip.de/event/20/contributions/277/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
