Data on the Velocity of the Celestial Bodies Orbiting a Galaxy

[ecastro]

I am currently researching about the behavior of dark matter and their possible characteristics, and I am needing the individual velocities of the bodies orbiting a center of a galaxy. The collection of data where physicists hypothesized the existence of Dark Matter. Where can I find these data? If ever possible.

Thank you in advance.

In scientific publications. The references in this wikipedia article should be a good starting point.

Thanks a lot! I think I found what I need.

Be sure to click on that link in the wiki for Vera Rubin. She seems an amazing researcher and receives far too little credit for the storm she caused.
