It is not always clear what the bulge of the Galaxy is: a region close to the centre, a subsystem formed by a distinct population, or a mixture of populations but characterised by its own mass distribution. We consider the bulge of the Milky Way as a subsystem and thus contributing to the galactic gravitation field. We want to estimate the contribution of the galactic bulge to the rotation curve.
