Dark matter distributions in the central region of late type NGC3256 and NGC4321 Galaxies / Israa Abdulqasim Mohammed Ali

The distribution of the unseen matter (also known as the dark matter) in the galaxies defines their formation, evolution and dynamics. The mass distribution of a few galaxies is studied using the CO observations of Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) and the near Infrared (near-I...
