8.2: Weighing the Galaxies
• A Story of Mass and Light
• How do we weigh the Universe ?
• We can only measure what we see !
• We can measure the starlight from stars ?
• If we know the Mass/Light (M/L) Ratio
• for Sun M/L = 1Mo/Lo
• for OB main sequence stars M/L = 0.001Mo/Lo
• for M main sequence stars M/L = 1000Mo/Lo
• Stellar mix of Solar Neighbourhood (3000ly)
 M/LB ~ 4Mo/Lo,B
• Measured Luminosity Density of stars in visible Universe ~ 108Lo,B Mpc-3
• Assume stellar mix of Solar Neighbourhood 
 ~ 4x108 MoMpc-3
• Density of the starlight in the Universe * = /c ~ 0.004 = < 0.5%
Depends critically on assumed M/L: Milky Way
~ 90% stellar light from stars M*>Mo
~ 80% stellar mass from stars M*<Mo

8.2: Weighing the Galaxies
… and Gravity
• Galaxy Rotation Curves
Newton’s Law of Gravitation: the force of gravity between two bodies • increases as the product of their two masses
• decreases as the square of the distance between them
Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion:
• Orbital velocity is proportional to the inverse square root of the distance

8.2: Weighing the Galaxies
… and Gravity
• Galaxy Rotation Curves
1. Rigid body rotation at centre (speed increases with distance as if a single object)
2. Curve falls off slightly from centre
3. Curve flattens (Velocity is constant with distance Mass must be increasing with distance)
4. Galaxy is spinning too fast !! Visible matter is not sufficient to hold galaxy together!
5. Flat rotation curve extends beyond the luminous matter (21cm, CO)

They have no charge and have no mass

8.7: The Search for Dark Matter
• Detection of WIMPs
• First generation of WIMP experiments were rare-event experiments (proton decay, solar neutrinos)
that were adapted to search for dark matter.
e.g. ultra-low background germanium semiconductor experiments developed for double beta-decay modified into dark matter detectors. (recoiling Ge nucleus produces -hole pairs that are detectable down
to recoil energies keV).
• Gas Detectors - Time-Projection Chamber (TPC) detectors used in particle physics. experiments.
To Detect a WIMP  require enormous volume, possibility could detect asymmetric direction of
WIMP recoil due to the Earth's motion around the Sun.
• Superconducting Grain Detectors - ~1mm size superconducting grains. WIMP recoil  heating 
phase transition. Resultant change in magnetic field detected by a SQUID.
• Ancient Mica - WIMP detection requires detectors/exposure times of kg/yr.  Instead of 100
kg detector use with small amounts of material that has been exposed for 109yr.
• Atomic Detectors - Detect inelastic collisions of SUSY relics with atoms. X-section for atomic
interactions smaller than nuclear interactions but there is a wider range of usable material. (not yet
any such experiments to look for WIMP-atom scattering)

• In the last 100 years the Copernican Principal has grown in strength
• Hubble: Universe is expanding - all galaxies are receding from each other
• Zwicky: Presence of Dark Matter - Dark Baryons
•Massive Halos/Clusters + Nucleosynthesis = Existence of Non-baryonic Dark Matter
• COBE: Baryonic Matter is not dominant in the structure formation process
• WMAP 75% of Universe is in the form of Dark energy
•BIG BANG has been very succesful……. BUT in truth
•We can still only understand 4% of the Universe
 It’s a very exciting time to be an Astrophysicist
