•The concept of dark matter and the difficulty of measurement Donker matter is the name given to hypothetical substances in astrophysics that do not interact with electromagnetic waves and whose existence can only be determined by their gravitational effects on other matter. To determine the existence of these substances, the orbital velocities of galaxies, the orbital velocities of galaxies within other galaxies, the gravitational lensing properties they exert on background matter, and the temperature distribution of hot gases within galaxies are used.
Among the possible astrophysical objects in halos are stellar remnants, neutron stars, faint white dwarfs, even black holes and objects that never managed to become stars due to their small masses. These objects are ideal candidates for dark matter because they are either completely or almost completely invisible. Moreover, since their existence is known for certain, MACHOs are more suitable as dark matter candidates than WIMPs.
Donker matter is thought to exist in two forms: baryonic dark matter and non-baryonic dark matter. Although it is estimated to make up 90% of the universe’s mass, the nature of dark matter remains a mystery to astronomers. Non-baryonic dark matter is divided into two main categories: hot dark matter (HDM), which is the relativistic (near the speed of light) motion of non-baryonic particles, and cold dark matter (CDM), which is the non-relativistic motion of non-baryonic particles. Cold dark matter particles are also known as WIMPs.
