Abstract: Some sort of dark-matter 'halo' is needed to explain the rapid rotation of spiral galaxies, but how much dark matter exists at the centre of galaxies is less clear. The latest idea suggests that, because of an unexpectedly strong interaction with the galactic disk, dark haloes may have a central bulge of dark matter, similar to the stellar cores of galaxies.
