3 Astronomical evidences for DM 1933: F. Zwicky postulates the existence of non-luminous gravitationally interacting matter ( Dark Matter ) to explain the peculiar velocities of galaxies in the Coma cluster virial theorem: E kin 1 2 U pot E dark matter ~90% of the COMA cluster? F. Zwicky Helv.Phys.Acta (1993) Die Rotverschiebung von extragalaktischen Nebeln s Fritz Zwicky ( ) 3

4 Astronomical evidences for DM rotation curves (orbital speed vs radius) of galaxies orbital velocity ~ 1 a distance to center rotation of M33: Doppler shift at l=21cm, Radio:VLA&WRST 4

5 Astronomical evidences Kepler s law: rotation velocity v rot of a star of mass m around a central inner mass M r : M r r( r) dv (galactic bulge: r(r)=r 0 =const. r<5kpc outside: r(r)~0 M r =const. v rot ~r -1/2 ) v rot ~ const. r(r)~r -2 outside bulge Dark Matter halo in galaxy Better: luminous matter in DM halo! 5

6 Astronomical evidences for DM multitude of galaxy rotation curves Vera Rubin spherical halo model with Y. Sufue et al., Central rotation curves of spiral galaxies, Astrophys. J. 523 (1999) making up 80% to 90% of the galactic matter 6

7 Astronomical evidences for DM strong gravitational lensing: DM makes light bend strong lensing of Cl (z = 0.39) viewed by Hubble Space Telescope 33 images of 11 galaxies Astronomy Picture of the Day 7

8 Astronomical evidences for DM weak gravitational lensing: DM creates shear image ellipticity shear invert the equation RXJ (Bradac et al 2005) DM reconstruction 8

9 optical depth (fraction of halo mass) Astronomical evidences for DM micro-lensing by baryonic objects (MACHOs) P. Tisserand et al. (EROS-2) Astron.Astrophys.469: ,2007 MACHO candidate (Astrophys.J 542:281, 2000) MACHOs in the mass range M < M < 15M are ruled out as the primary occupants of the Milky Way Halo 9

10 Astronomical evidences for DM galaxy cluster 1E bullet cluster Chandra X-ray d=1gpc z=0.296 first evidence that DM halo is not made of normal baryons! HST (weak lensing) (Credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/CfA/M.Markevitch et al. Optical: NASA/STScI; Magellan/U.Arizona/D.Clowe et al. Lensing Map: NASA/STScI; ESO WFI; Magellan/U.Arizona/D.Clowe et al.) 10

11 Astronomical evidences for DM crossing of two galaxies as an example of the dynamics of DM and hot baryons DM: dissipationless, no interaction during X ing baryons and DM mixed start of crossing baryons: cluster gas is heated through collisions during crossing shock of the cluster gas baryons and DM separated spatial separation of DM and baryons 11

12 Astronomical evidences for DM 2.7K CMBR (WMAP) WMAP, Astrophys. J Suppl 180:296, 2009 DT/T 10-5 at z 1000 ( y after BigBang) k=0 r= r crit W tot = 1 r B 0.04r crit PDG2006 BBN (3 min. after BB) 12

21 Do we understand structure formation? 1. calculate structure growth on different scales and compare with LSS surveys quantifying density fluctuations power spectra 2. reproduce structure formation in N-body simulations assuming gravitational interaction only be aware: N ~ each particle is a macroscopic DM clump 22
