You won't be tying me up today....for some reason I woke up tired and I've been off all day, so it's a little hard to get motivated to do any work!!!.
Interesting curve...a little unusual in that it gradual increases and then slowly drops away, but I'd like to know what the curve is like out around 50-80kpc, out in the halo regions. I have a suspicion it'll flatten out. What that curve says is that most of the galaxy's mass seems to be contained within the inner 15kpc and mostly outside of the core of the galaxy. Outside of there, the dark matter probably isn't so prevalent or it's distributed unevenly in the halo around the galaxy. Wonder how you'd go modeling an elliptical/lensed shaped halo of dark matter to the curve??
