Exhaustive emissions modeling by global physicists narrows down particle candidates
Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, UCI astronomers have identified a galaxy with an unexpectedly high amount of dark matter at its core. Descended from a family of galaxies called “red nuggets” that formed relatively soon after the Big Bang but were stalled in their growth about 10 billion years ago, Markarian 1216 has […]
Excess of gamma rays could indicate that dark matter particles are annihilating each other in space.
UC Irvine researchers say that the link between dark matter and discovery of excess positrons in space is not concrete, despite a flurry of excitement in the field of astrophysics.
