This is not an homework. This is an term project for which I have to research. I can get help from anyone unless someone is not doing everthing. I can ask questions for this project.

I donot have any equation
Hello, I have asked a similar question before, but this time I want to ask it a bit differently to be understood better.

I am a physics student at a university and this semester I am going to make a term project about Dark Matter Density Distribution by using rotation curves. However, I am a bit lost. I have checked some papers related to this topic, but have not found everything that I am looking for. I may need to research it in much more detailed. So if you have papers related to the questions that I am going to ask, I would appreciate if you provide them to me.

I want to know what I will need to have as data and the methods I am going to use, step by step.

I have data of rotation curves for some galaxies. As I saw it in some papers, I will need V_bulge , V_disk , V_gas to find out V_DM. Then, I will need to use one of the profiles such as NFW.

These are so far what I have understood or I think I understood it. Could you guide me step by step if possible provide me with data and papers, please?

Thank you all

That is not how term projects at university work: you need to find these things out for yourself.

Thread 'Please tell me where I am going wrong in this integral'

##|\Psi|^2=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\exp(\frac{-(x-x_0)^2}{b^2}).## ##\braket{x}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}dx\,x\exp(-\frac{(x-x_0)^2}{b^2}).## ##y=x-x_0 \quad x=y+x_0 \quad dy=dx.## The boundaries remain infinite, I believe. ##\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}dy(y+x_0)\exp(\frac{-y^2}{b^2}).## ##\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\int_0^{\infty}dy\,y\exp(\frac{-y^2}{b^2})+\frac{2x_0}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\int_0^{\infty}dy\,\exp(-\frac{y^2}{b^2}).## I then resolved the two...

Thread 'Number of quantum accessible states of a particle given T, N?'

It's given a gas of particles all identical which has T fixed and spin S. Let's ##g(\epsilon)## the density of orbital states and ##g(\epsilon) = g_0## for ##\forall \epsilon \in [\epsilon_0, \epsilon_1]##, zero otherwise. How to compute the number of accessible quantum states of one particle? This is my attempt, and I suspect that is not good. Let S=0 and then bosons in a system. Simply, if we have the density of orbitals we have to integrate ##g(\epsilon)## and we have...
