Homework Statement
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.
Relevant Equations
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.
