The Navarro–Frenk–White (NFW) profile is
a
mathematical model
that describes the
density
distribution of
dark matter
in
galaxies
and
galaxy clusters
. It was introduced by the
astrophysicists
Julio Navarro,
Carlos Frenk
, and Simon White in their 1996 paper. The NFW profile is significant in
cosmology
and astrophysical studies because it provides insights into how
dark matter
is structured in the
universe
.
