  • Does filamentary accretion of dark matter sub-halos naturally produce a VPOS-like structure?

    Updated: 2012-05-15 09:44:56
    SciLogs All Blogs Next Does filamentary accretion of dark matter sub-halos naturally produce a VPOS-like structure from Marcel S . Pawlowski 15. May 2012, 10:44 In the previous post we discussed the VPOS , the vast polar structure of satellite objects around the Milky Way . One of the suggested origins within the cosmological cold dark matter paradigm is that the satellites have been preferentially accreted along large , cosmic filaments . These are long , thread-like structures which arise naturally during the formation of structure in the cosmos . The movie below shows how they come : about One work suggesting that filamentary accretion can solve the VPOS-problem is Lovell et al . 2011 Its abstract claims that : All six haloes of the Aquarius simulations possess a population of subhaloes

    PS - there is no Higgs mechanism here in the usual sense. The eight vacuum condensate Goldstone phases that represent macro-quantum coherent Glauber states of virtual (off-shell) massless spin zero bosons are singular multi-valued Cartan 0-forms whose exterior derivatives are the still massless spin 1 strong force vector gluons. Because the 0-forms are singular multivalued the massless spin 1 vector gluon 1-forms are not closed and have non-vanishing 2-form exterior derivatives. Details are show...

April 2012, 23:54 After the worrisome news for dark matter in the last weeks we have to add another today and there is more to come very soon This time , we show that the disc of satellite galaxies is only a part of a bigger structure : a vast polar structure VPOS of diverse satellite objects surrounds the Milky Way , unexpected from cosmological . models With the increasing resolution of cosmological simulations of structure and galaxy formation , it became possible to make predictions on smaller scales . In particular , it became apparent that the dark matter subhalos , typically identified as the sites of luminous satellite galaxies around a host galaxy , are more

    : SciLogs All Blogs Next Dark Matter gone missing in many places : a crisis of modern physics from Marcel S . Pawlowski 19. April 2012, 21:41 On The Dark Matter Crisis , we have already presented numerous problems that appear within the LCDM model of cosmology . Some of these have been given names , like the Missing Satellites Problem where LCDM predicts more dark matter subhaloes around the Milky Way than there are observed satellite galaxies , which are expected to trace them . Or the Missing Baryons Problem from cosmological predictions we expect a certain density in the baryonic , luminous and thus in principle observable matter . But when you add up all the visible matter you observed , you only get 10-40 per cent of what you expect . The larger fraction is missing . Even the ongoing

April 2012, 20:15 : Summary One result is very definite by now : neither the Bullet nor the Train Wreck clusters support nor do they prove the existence of cold or warm dark matter . And , they certainly do not disprove MOND . Quite on the contrary , according to current knowledge , they falsify the concordance cosmological or LCDM . model The Bullet cluster consists of two clusters of galaxies that have penetrated each other leaving behind a slab of gas while the now seperating clusters retain matter as revealed through gravitational lensing . Assuming General Relativity GR to be valid t he lensing measurements tell us that collisionless dark matter
