The model integrates contributions from a galaxy’s bulge, disk, and dark matter halo, represented by Hernquist, exponential, and NFW profiles, respectively, to replicate realistic galactic rotation dynamics. Validated against observed rotation curves from galaxies such as the Milky Way and Andromeda, the simulation captures primary rotation curve characteristics and provides a close approximation of mass distribution within these galaxies. While minor discrepancies are present, primarily due to simplified profile assumptions, the model effectively balances accuracy with simplicity, offering a practical tool for galactic dynamics research. This accessible framework serves as a foundation for further studies in galaxy structure and evolution and is adaptable for educational applications. |
