Hi,
I hope someone can help me, my question is
What are the principal candidates for baryonic dark matter in clusters of galaxies
and in galaxy halos, are they different?
I just need a list for halos and clusters as it might make it simipler for me to understand

thanks in advance
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
Baryonic dark matter? Er, that's ruled out quite conclusively by CMB observations, as baryonic dark matter's effects couldn't have been apparent then.
 
Does that mean that WIMPS are not the principal baryonic dark matter in clusters of galaxies and MACHOs in galaxy halos?
 
WIMPS weakly interacting massive particles are none baryonic :smile:
