Jerome Drexler | Discovering Dark Matter Cosmology » Drexler Dark Matter Strongly Boosted by Two New Astrophysical Discoveries by Two Research Teams

SILICON VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 7, 2009 (AScribe Newswire) — An Editor’s Summary of an Oct. 1, 2009 paper in the journal “Nature” entitled “Universality of galactic surface densities within one dark halo scale-length” reads as follows: “All galaxies are thought to be surrounded by a halo of invisible ‘dark matter’, detectable only through its gravitational interactions. Gentile et al report the discovery of a surprising relationship between the distributions of dark and luminous matter in galaxies spanning a wide range of observational properties. They [the October 2009 research team] find that within one dark halo scale-length, the mean luminous surface density [for galaxies] is constant for galaxies of virtually all shapes and sizes. This follows the recent discovery [by the April 2009 research team] that the mean dark matter surface density within one dark halo scale-length (the radius for which the volume density profile of dark matter remains ‘flat’) is virtually constant for all galaxies.”This “surprising” pair of discoveries of both (1) the constancy of the mean luminous surface density for galaxies of virtually all shapes and sizes in conjunction with (2) the mean dark matter halo surface density being virtually constant independent of the enclosed galaxy’s shape, size, or luminosity; appears to be explainable only by what is known as Drexler relativistic-baryon dark matter. This dark matter candidate, comprising galaxy- orbiting relativistic protons and helium nuclei, appears to be the only one that is compatible with both of the “surprising” discoveries. Bell Labs-trained scientist Jerome Drexler had discovered Drexler dark matter in early 2002 and authored a Dec. 15, 2003, book about it and a 19-page online scientific paper about it on April 22, 2005.

The April 2009 research team had reported on April 27, 2009, that the surface mass density of a dark matter halo facing its enclosed galaxy is nearly constant even with an extremely wide range of enclosed galaxy masses and luminosities. This should not be surprising since a Drexler dark matter halo size, shape, and surface mass density are determined almost entirely by the electromagnetic forces in the extragalactic magnetic field acting on the galaxy-orbiting Drexler dark matter relativistic baryons, which “are not significantly affected by the amount of galaxy mass enclosed.” See this quasi-prediction at the top of page 13 of the April 22, 2005 paper “Identifying Dark Matter through the Constraints Imposed by Fourteen Astronomically Based ‘Cosmic Constituents,’” astro- ph/0504512 v1, which is also available at http://www.jeromedrexler.org/ under “Papers”.

The October 2009 research team reported on October 1, 2009, “a close correlation between the enclosed surface densities of luminous [ordinary galaxy matter] and dark matter in galaxies.” This also should not be surprising since the Drexler dark matter model is based upon galaxy-orbiting relativistic protons (and accompanying helium nuclei) entering into non-elastic collisions with photons, which are in high volume density in the universe, to create pions that decay into muons that then decay into intimate electrons, which combine with protons and accompanying helium nuclei to form atomic hydrogen and helium. Since these atoms, from the Drexler dark matter halo surface, are fed directly onto the intimate surface of the enclosed galaxy, one would expect a very close correlation between the surface densities of the dark matter halo and the luminous galaxy it encloses.

The October 2009 research team reported their findings on October 1, 2009 in their scientific paper in the journal “Nature” entitled, “Universality of galactic surface densities within one dark halo scale-length”. Research team members were Gianfranco Gentile (http://arxiv.org/find/astro-ph/1/au:+Gentile_G/0/1/0/all/0/1), Benoit Famaey (http://arxiv.org/find/astro-ph/1/au:+Famaey_B/0/1/0/all/0/1), HongSheng Zhao (http://arxiv.org/find/astro-ph/1/au:+Zhao_H/0/1/0/all/0/1), and Paolo Salucci (http://arxiv.org/find/astro-ph/1/au:+Salucci_P/0/1/0/all/0/1).

The October 2009 Abstract reads, “It was recently discovered that the mean dark matter surface density within one dark halo scale length – the radius within which the volume density profile of dark matter remains approximately flat – is constant across a wide range of galaxies. This scaling relation holds for galaxies spanning a luminosity range of 14 magnitudes and the whole Hubble sequence. Here we report that the luminous matter surface density is also constant within one scale length of the dark halo. This means that the gravitational acceleration generated by the luminous component in galaxies is always the same at this radius. Although the total luminous-to-dark matter ratio is not constant, within one halo scale length it is constant. Our finding can be interpreted as a close correlation between the enclosed surface densities of luminous [ordinary matter] and dark matter in galaxies.”

Below are some non-mathematical, edited-for-clarity excerpts for non-experts from the April 2009 team’s Abstract:

We confirm and extend the recent finding that the central surface density of galaxy dark matter halos is nearly constant and independent of galaxy luminosity.

Based on the co-added rotation curves of about 1000 spiral galaxies, mass models of individual dwarf irregular and spiral galaxies of late and early types with high-quality rotation curves and, galaxy-galaxy weak lensing signals from a sample of spiral and elliptical galaxies, we find that the log of the central surface density is equal to a constant of a specific value. We also show that the observed kinematics of Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies are consistent with this value. Our results are obtained for galactic systems spanning a luminosity range of 14 magnitudes, belonging to different Hubble Types, and whose mass profiles have been determined by several independent methods. In the same objects, the approximate constancy of the central surface density of galaxy dark matter halos is in sharp contrast to the systematical variations, by several orders of magnitude, of galaxy properties.

Drexler relativistic-baryon dark matter has been very successful during the past six years in providing explanations for dark energy, the source of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, the top-down theory of galaxy formation, the cosmic inflation epoch immediately following the big bang, the accelerating expansion of the universe, the formation of the first stars, and the nature of the Cosmic Web, among others. Through this newswire article, Drexler dark matter has provided explanations for two “surprising” astrophysical discoveries, reported by two research teams, related to relationships between the surface mass density of dark matter halos with the enclosed galaxy mass in the April 2009 research and with the galaxy surface mass density in the October 2009 research.
