2 7. Dark and Anti-Matter

3 Dark Matter Most probably a particle Does not emit or absorb light Does not interact e.m. or strong. Should be transparent matter Interacts gravitationally Most probably interacts weakly

4 When dark matter? In 1933 Zwicky, observing the movement of galaxies in the Coma cluster understood that their visible mass was not enough to keep them in a bound state. He estimated that not visible mass should have been at least 160 times the galaxies noone listened Immagine a falsi colori: blu visibile (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) Rosso e verde - Infrarosso (NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope)

5 Fritz Zwicky 14/2/1898, Varna (Bulgaria) 8/2/1974 Pasadena

6 1959: Louise Volders showed that spiral galaxy M33 does not rotate as expected. Stars in the galactic arms should follow keplerian law, since most of the mass was thought to be concentrated in galactic center Dark matter inside the galaxies

7 Rotation speed (km/s) Galaxy rotation curve Observed experimentally Predicted by keplerian law Distance from galactic center (kpc)

8 Doppler shift in the 21 cm (hyperfine line)

9 Back to cluster of galaxies X-ray emission from Hydrogen gas falling in the gravitational well of galaxy clusters Visible barion fraction: 0.56% f B h 3/2 = Matter from Big Bang: 38% W matter h 1/2 =

14 1919 GR predition was more or less verified. Il 29 Maggio, l eclisse di Sole consentì l osservazione dell ammasso globulare delle Iadi, la cui luce era deviata dal campo gravitazionale solare New York Times, November 10, 1919

15 Twin quasars Q ? 1937 Zwicky again hypotesized the phenomenon of gravitational lensing. The effect was observed in 1979 Identical sources (massa, luce, distanza ecc ) discovered in 1979 Gravitational lenses by a galaxy in front of the quasar

25 Microlensing Una stella viene illuminata da un buco nero di almeno sei masse solari di passaggio davanti ad essa.

26 Anche per i pianeti extrasolari Microlenti planetarie: Amplificano la luce delle stelle attorno a cui orbitano quando passano di fronte ad esse Dal numero di eventi di microlenti si deduce che pianeti isolati o stelle spente non possono costituire la materia oscura. Anche particelle massive Machos non possono essere candidati plausibili
