Composition Until 30 years ago, we thought all matter was “baryonic” matter (protons, neutrons, electrons). Now: 4.6% is baryonic matter 95% is non-baryonic.

Dark Matter The Portion of the Universe You Have to Appreciate to “See” By Andre Bosman and Barbara Anderson

The Portion of the Universe You Have to Appreciate to “See” What is Dark Matter? (Andre) Why we think Dark Matter exists? (Andre) How we can “see” Dark Matter? (Andre) What is Dark Matter made up of? (Barbara) Why is Dark Matter important? (Barbara) Questions and Answers (Class/Barbara/Andre) 6/15/20132

What is Dark Matter? Invisible to us Cannot be seen directly with telescopes Does not emit or absorb light Has no significant electromagnetic radiation 6/15/20133

What is Dark Matter? Has mass Has gravitational pull Framework that holds galaxies together Like a Christmas tree – Lights are the galaxies – Tree is Dark Matter 6/15/20134

Why we think Dark Matter exists? Some galaxies not behaving according to Newton and Einstein laws Greater mass of an object the greater the gravity Further an object is from center the slower the object Galaxies are moving too fast for the amount of visible mass (matter) that can be seen 6/15/20135

Why we think Dark Matter exists? Not enough visible mass (matter) in galaxies to account for observations Must be Dark Matter 6/15/20136

Orbiting ball visible to us Why we think Dark Matter exists? Not enough visible mass in galaxies 6/15/20137 Mass (gravity) not visible to us

Orbiting ball visible to us Why we think Dark Matter exists? 6/15/20138 ? Mass (gravity) not visible to us Not enough visible mass in galaxies

How we can “see” Dark Matter? Gravitational lensing 6/15/20139 Light is affected by the curvature of space-time (or affected by gravity in other words)

How we can “see” Dark Matter? We can view distant galaxies through the “lens” created by gravitational bending of light. 6/15/201310

How we can “see” Dark Matter? Astronomers have mapped some of the Dark Matter in our universe 6/15/201311

What is Dark Matter made up of? WIMPS is a candidate for Data Matter Weakly Interacting Massive Particles 6/15/201312

What are the types of Dark Matter? WIMPS are: – Elementary particles – Have very small interaction with ordinary matter This why it is so hard to see them – Are very spread out (not clumped) 6/15/201313

Why is Dark Matter important? Holds the true secrets of the universe Has power to influence galaxies – How they form – How fast they spin Might hold the secret to how the universe was formed and how it will end 6/15/201314
