Hello,
I'm a third year engineering physics student, and my team and I are trying to model how the rotation (V(r)) of a galaxy is affected by the possible existence of the dark matter halo. Here are my questions:
Regarding the dark matter halo:
The integral of the mass density function is divergent at 0, how do we deal with it? How does it make any physical sense.
Here's the formula:

Is the Milky Way Galaxy dark matter-dominant?
