Among other sources of such radiation, scientists have proposed that interactions between bits of dark matter (which make up a large fraction of the universe's mass but haven't yet been directly detected) in a halo around the galactic center may be creating the surplus gamma rays.

ALMOST two years ago, the astronomical world was set alight by the discovery of dim, point - like objects called MACHOs in the invisible halo of dark matter that surrounds our Galaxy (This Week, 25 September 1993).

So they plump for a model in which the brown dwarfs revealed by microlensing are part of the relatively small but heavy spheroid, while the even heavier extended dark halo is made up of the more exotic particles variously known as WIMPs or cold dark matter.

Theorists have long argued that each galaxy is embedded in a halo of dark matter.

They argue that the brown dwarfs are in fact members of a much smaller spherical distribution of matter around the centre of the Galaxy, which they call the spheroid in order to avoid confusion with the extended dark halo.

This statement is certainly true if we assume that the only gravitational force present is that exerted by visible matter, but it is true even if we assume that every galaxy in the cluster, like the Milky Way, is surrounded by a halo of dark matter that contains 90 percent of the mass of the galaxy.»

In galaxies, which form in giant clumps of dark matter called halos, ratios can range from 10 to 1,000, according to Cameron Yozin, a Ph.D. student at the University of Western Australia and co-author of the MNRAS papeIn galaxies, which form in giant clumps of dark matter called halos, ratios can range from 10 to 1,000, according to Cameron Yozin, a Ph.D. student at the University of Western Australia and co-author of the MNRAS papein giant clumps of dark matter called halos, ratios can range from 10 to 1,000, according to Cameron Yozin, a Ph.D. student at the University of Western Australia and co-author of the MNRAS paper.

The halo has been found to contain some of the missing matter, and therefore, further knowledge about it «can help us learn both how the material got there in the first place, and the rate at which we expect the matter to settle into the galaxy.»

All galaxies, including our own, are believed to be embedded in and surrounded with halos of dark matter, which is what astronomers posit causes stars far from the galactic center to move as fast as those near the center.

This would result in fewer dark matter halos.

Dark matter resides in the halos around those galaxies, and was also known to spread from those denser areas in filaments.

Some are found in globular clusters, but most move in a huge cloud around the disk called the galactic halo, which has a luminous inner component defined by globular star clusters and other easily observable stars (with coronae of hot gas possibly expelled by supernovae and of high - velocity neutron stars) and an outer dark - matter component inferred from its gravitational impact on the Milky Way's spiral disk.

«They tend to be more massive than the average galaxy and live in more massive dark matter «halos.»

Presentations will emphasize recent research at Green Bank in two areas: pulsar studies, that could lead in the near future to direct detection of gravitational radiation and hydrogen studies that reveal the structure and evolution of galaxies and their dark matter halos.

Only a small percentage is visible as the stars, gas and dust; the rest is held in a large yet invisible dark matter halo.

These have provided great advances to many important areas of astrophysical research, like the study for the nature of dark matter in the halos of the Milky Way and its neighboring galaxies, the characterisation of thousands of variable stars, and the search for exoplanets.

As a quasar's black hole sucks in gas from surrounding space, the gas collides with the edge of its dark - matter halo and forms a shock wave, which heats the gas suddenly and strips off electrons to form electrically charged ions.

«This is really pushing the limits of just how massive a dark matter halo can be at this time in the universe,» Hayward says.

Their calculations showed that at the point in time these galaxies existed and are observed, less than 800 million years after the Big Bang, the galaxies and their dark matter halo were among the most massive structures that the current model would tolerate.

The extended halo, which has a temperature of about 15,000 K, consists of matter that the central star expelled in its red giant stage.

It separates two models of the dark matter distribution in the halo of a galaxy like our Milky Way.
