The Nature of Dark Matter
نویسنده
چکیده
Cold Dark Matter (CDM) has become the standard modern theory of cosmological structure formation. Its predictions appear to be in good agreement with data on large scales, and it naturally accounts for many properties of galaxies. But despite its many successes, there has been concern about CDM on small scales because of the possible contradiction between the linearly rising rotation curves observed in some dark-matter-dominated galaxies vs. the 1/r density cusps at the centers of simulated CDM halos. Other CDM issues on small scales include the very large number of small satellite halos in simulations, far more than the number of small galaxies observed locally, and problems concerning the angular momentum of the baryons in dark matter halos. The latest data and simulations have lessened, although not entirely resolved, these concerns. Meanwhile, the main alternatives to CDM that have been considered to solve these problems, self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) and warm dark matter (WDM), have been found to have serious drawbacks. This paper is a significantly updated revision of 1).

Singlet scalar dark matter in noncommutative space
In this paper, we examine the singlet scalar dark matter annihilation to becoming the Standard Model particles in the non-commutative space. In the recent decades, many candidates of dark matter have been offered, but our information about the nature of dark matter is still limited. There are such particle candidates as scalar matetr, fermion, boson, gauge boson, etc.; however, they have nei...
متن کاملFormation of Large Structures in the Acceleration Universe with a Hybrid Expansion Law
In the current paper, we have studied the effect of dark energy on for-mation where dark energy exists in the background. For this purpose, we used both WMAP9 and Planck data to study how the radius changes with redshift in these mod-els. We used different data sets to fix the cosmological parameters to obtain a solution for a spherical region under collapse. The mechanism of structure formation f...

It is valuable and important to study the dark and undesirable dimensions of personality and determine the variables that affect it. The aim of this study was to develop a dark triple causal model of personality based on wisdom and character mediated by positive and negative emotions. In a correlation design based on modeling, 532 male and female students of Tehran Azad University were selecte...

A review of the development of the concept of dark matter is given. The dark matter story passed through several stages on its way from a minor observational puzzle to a major challenge for theory of elementary particles. I begin the review with the description of the discovery of the mass paradox in our Galaxy and in clusters of galaxies. First hints of the problem appeared already in 1930s an...
متن کاملUnifying Dark Energy and Dark Matter with a Scalar Field
The standard model of cosmology considers the existence of two components of unknown nature, “dark matter” and “dark energy”, which determine the cosmological evolution. Their nature remains unknown, and other models can also be considered. In particular, it may be possible to reinterpret the recent cosmological observations so that the Universe does not contain two fluids of unknown natures, b...
