Possible existence of wormholes in the galactic halo region

Two observational results, the density profile from simulations performed in the $$\Lambda $$ CDM scenario and the observed flat galactic rotation curves, are taken as input with the aim of showing that the galactic halo possesses some of the characteristics needed to support traversable wormholes. This result should be sufficient to provide an incentive for scientists to seek observational evidence for wormholes in the galactic halo region.
