  8. Global Warning In this historical section, I will retrace the scientific dark matter history. In other words, I will reconstruct step by step how the hypothesis of the existence of a dark structure in the clusters of galaxies, then in the galaxies and finally in the imprints of the Cosmological Microwave Background. It means that several numbers, observations, conclusions will be falsified during the lecture. The distances for instance are twice smaller in the early time due do the Hubble parameter which has been divided by two between its first evaluation in 1930 and now. Same for the age of the Universe, or temperature of the CMB. The aim of the lecture is indeed to make you understand the process of model building from hypothesis that can change with time due to new observations. All reasonings will be based on the original articles, the complete list of references being given at the end of the lecture. All the original historical articles discussed in this section can be found on the page: http://www.ymambrini.com/My_World/History.html

  9. Observing the present sky From the clusters to the galaxies

  10. The early times (1930-1960) The first appearance of the word « dark matter » in the literature is in a paper of the physicist Jan Oort from Netherland in 1932. While he was analyzing the radial velocities, he notice a discrepancy with Newton law. He computed that only one third of the dynamically inferred mass was present in bright visible stars. It is clear from the context that, as characterizing the remainder as « dark » («Dunkle Materie »), Oort was describing all matter not in the form of visible stars with luminosity comparable or larger than that of the Sun. Gas and dusts between the stars was his « invisible mass » that should be found (for him) soon. The main reason evoked at this time was the presence of low luminosity objects (dead stars) or large absorbing gas. Imagining a new dark component took a very long time to physicists, who even preferred to modified the law of gravity at large scale before invoking a new particle. Jan Oort, Bulletin of the Astronomical Institutes of the Netherlands, Vol. 6, p.249 Jan Oort (the original articles can be found there: http://www.ymambrini.com/My_World/History.html ) In this sense, the first real work underlining that the missing mass could be problematic is Fritz Zwicky in 1933

  11. « The Redshift of Extragalactic Nebulae » Fritz Zwicky, Helv. Phys. Acta 6, 110-127 (1933) § 5. Remarks concerning the dispersion of velocities in the Coma nebular cluster. As the data in § 3 show, there are in the Coma cluster di ff erences in velocity of at least 1500 to 2000 km/sec. In the context of this enormous variation of velocities the following considerations can be made: 1. Under the supposition that the Coma system has reached, mechani- cally, a stationary state, the Virial Theorem implies � k = − 1 2 � p , (4) where � k and � p denote average kinetic and potential energies, e.g. of the The Redshift of Extragalactic Nebulae unit of mass in the system. For the purpose of estimation we assume that the matter in the cluster is distributed uniformly in space. The cluster has a radius R of about one million light-years (equal to 10 24 cm) and contains 800 by F. Zwicky. individual nebulae with a mass of each corresponding to 10 9 solar masses. (16.II.33.) The mass M of the whole system is therefore M ∼ 800 × 10 9 × 2 × 10 33 = 1 . 6 × 10 45 g. (5) Contents . This paper gives a representation of the main characteristics of extragalactic nebulae and of the methods which served their exploration. In particular, the so called redshift of extragalactic nebulae is discussed in detail. Di ff erent theories which have been worked out in order to explain this important phenomenon will be discussed briefly. Finally it will be indi- cated to what degree the redshift promises to be important for the study of penetrating radiation. This implies for the total potential energy Ω : Ω = − 3 5 Γ M 2 (6) R Γ = Gravitational constant or ε p = Ω /M ∼ − 64 × 10 12 cm 2 s − 2 (7) The Coma Cluster of Galaxies. and then ε k = v 2 / 2 ∼ − ε p / 2 = 32 × 10 12 cm 2 s − 2 This is a highly regular gravitationally bound system of � 1 / 2 � v 2 = 80 km/s . (8) thousands of galaxies at a In order to obtain the observed value of an average Doppler e ff ect of 1000 distance of about 100 Mpc km/s or more, the average density in the Coma system would have to be at least 400 times larger than that derived on the grounds of observations of (NASA, SDSS) luminous matter. 8 If this would be confirmed we would get the surprising result that dark matter is present in much greater amount than luminous matter. 2. One could also assume that the Coma system is not in stationary

  16. Conclusion of the Zwicky article « In order to obtain the observed value of an average Doppler effect of 1000 km/s or more, the average density in the Coma system would have to be at least 400 times larger than that derived on the grounds of observations of luminous matter. If this would be confirmed we would get the surprising result that dark matter is present in much greater amount than luminous matter » This result was completely forgotten and nobody took really seriously this comment of Zwicky. Indeed, the large scale astrophysics was at its beginning after the Hubble discovery and a lot of physicists believed that the « missing mass » problem will be solved once we will understand better the mechanism of absorption of light in the interstellar/internebulae medium. In fact, the « missing mass » problem was a this time considered as a « missing luminosity » problem: why we do not see the astrophysics bodies that should be responsible of the Newtonian dynamics. On the other hand, several scientists tried to modify (already in the 30’s) the 1/r 2 attraction law. Then began the galaxies analysis.

This is when a dark halo came to the rescue and is first mentioned in a paper.

  40. First hypothesis of dark halo The idea Peebles and Ostriker noticed that the random velocities in our galaxies (around 30-40 km/s ) are much smaller than the systematic circular motion (around 200 km/s ). Thus, not only the system is unstable as remarked by Hohl et al. , but it shows that galaxies seems to be dominated by a cold gravitational system and not a kinetic pressure dominated one.

Thus, not only the system is unstable as remarked by Hohl et al. , but it shows that galaxies seems to be dominated by a cold gravitational system and not a kinetic pressure dominated one. Indeed, the virial theorem can be decomposed as: 2 T + U = 0, or 2 T rot + 2 T ran = U , which can be written t + r =1/2 with t=T rot /(-U) and r = T ran /(-U). So, if t=1/2 (r=0) the system is completely supported against gravity by rotation , but if r=1/2 (t=0) the system is completely supported by random motion .

Peebles and Ostriker noticed that if t > 0.14 (28% of the kinetic energy is rotational), the system is unstable and becomes elongated very quickly. However, we just saw that in our Milky Way, the rotation velocity is around 200 km/s whereas the random one approaches 40 km/s , which gives t ~ 0.49 , far in excess of the stability limit!!

The clever idea of Peebles and Ostriker is then to add an additional component to the galaxy, a dark halo which contributes at least 50% of the mass inside the position of the Sun U -> U + U dark Then this spheroidal system would add to the gravitational potential energy, but add nothing to the rotational energy ; t would be decreased and perhaps stability restored.

  55. pre-conclusion We have seen in this first part that it was a long way from the first papers of Oort and Zwicky in the 30’s to the latest N-Body simulation in the 90’s to picture a coherent framework in the analysis of dark matter in the structures and substructures of the Universe. However, in the 60’s the discovery of the CMB will shed a completely new light on the content of the Universe and will reinforce the notion of dark matter. This is the subject of the next lecture.

  58. By 1980 , the perceived problems of the stability of rotationally supported disk galaxies and the observation of non-declining rotation curves of spiral galaxies had led most astronomers to accept the idea that galaxies are embedded in a dark halo that become dynamically more important in the outer region . Astronomers in general thought in terms of rather conventional dark matter - cold gas, very low mass stars, failed stars (or super planets), stellar remnants such as cold white dwarfs, neutron stars, or low-mass black holes - i.e. baryonic dark matter At about the same time a rather different idea was gaining credence among cosmologists and particle physicists: that the dark matter consists of subatomic particles; non-baryonic dark matter that interacts only weakly with baryons and photons. That is the story we propose to tell now..

  66. Computing ρ matter G. Gamow (October 1948) After having understood that the Universe is not dominated by the dust (mass) but by the radiation at the time of deuterium formation, Gamow decided to compute the density of matter ρ m at that time. N n = X ρ a 3 ; N p = Y ρ a 3 dN n = − λ N n − N n ( Y ρ m ) σ v dt ⇒ ρ a 3 dX dt = − λρ a 3 X − ρ a 3 XY ρ m σ v Which gives when combining with the equation for the proton dX dt = − λ X − XY ρ mv σ dY dt = + λ X − XY ρ mv σ

  67. Computing ρ matter G. Gamow (October 1948) After having understood that the Universe is not dominated by the dust (mass) but by the radiation at the time of deuterium formation, Gamow decided to compute the density of matter ρ m at that time. N n = X ρ a 3 ; N p = Y ρ a 3 dN n = − λ N n − N n ( Y ρ m ) σ v dt ⇒ ρ a 3 dX dt = − λρ a 3 X − ρ a 3 XY ρ m σ v Gamow supposed the limit condition Y = 0.5 when t goes to infinity : he supposed that half of the mass component of the Which gives when combining with the equation for the proton Universe is made of hydrogen. As a result he obtained dX dt = − λ X − XY ρ mv σ ρ m (10 9 K) = 7.2 x 10 -3 (1s/t) 3/2 g cm -3 . dY dt = + λ X − XY ρ mv σ However, Gamow was not interested to the present temperature of the radiation, but to the formation of galaxies. It is Alpher and Herman who will, 2 weeks later , compute it.

  68. The prediction Alpher, Herman (October 1948) The article of Alpher and Herman began by 4 corrections to the preceding article of Gamow. The relation between Gamow , Alpher (his PhD student) and Herman (his postdoc) was not so clear, but some tensions seemed to have appeared after the αβγ event . In any case, correcting the ρ m of Gamow , they computed the relic temperature nowadays. They obtained R. Alpher R. Herman ρ m = 1.7 x 10 -2 (1s/t) 3/2 g cm -3 ~ 2x10 -6 g cm -3 at 10 9 K. Noting that ρ (T)/T 3 = constant , we can deduce T now = 10 9 K [ ρ now / ρ (10 9 K)] 1/3 . Taking from galaxies observations ρ now = 10 -30 g cm -3 ( ρ c = 2 x 10 -29 h 2 g cm -3 ), one obtains T now ~5 K. This is the first prediction of the Cosmic Microwave Background

  73. The Helium abundance The novelty in the Dicke et al. article, compared to the Gamow one is the introduction of a more complete fundamental setup ( positron , electron , and the newly discovered neutrino in 1956 ) and the computation of the Helium abundance . Indeed, Gamow stopped the process to the proton abundance, computing the constraints from the hydrogen limits measured in our Universe. Peebles went much further away, solving numerically the complete set of equation governing the formation of the Helium and its isotopes in an article published just 5 months after the Dicke et al. one.

Summary : how to predict a CMB temperature? 1) You suppose, as Gamow in 1948 that the Universe has been building up from the lightest elements and is not originated from the decay of a « primeval atom » of the Uranium type as Lemaitre imagined in the 20’s (you should for that have a strong sense of intuition)

But as you heard about the Saha equation , you know that the real temperature of dissociation is 0.1 MeV (10 9 K) due to the photon statistic distribution.

  86. Filling the Universe with neutrino The Zeldovich-Cowsik-McClelland bound, or the birth of cosmological astroparticle Once the CMB has been discovered, and measured, a lot of particle physicists jumped on it to test their predictions through interactions on it ( GZK cutoff and cosmic ray) to astrophysical consequences. Zeldovich and Ghershtein in June 1966 (!!) were the first to obtain limits on a heavy neutrino (the muonic neutrino ν µ has been discovered by Lederman in 1962 ) from cosmological consideration, asking for a Universe respecting the deceleration parameter, obtaining m ν µ < 400 eV. Cowsik and Mac Clelland in 1972 (!!) recomputed it (without citing Zeldovich) with more accurate values of the Hubble parameter and obtained m ν µ < 8 eV (the now called « Cowsik Mac Clelland » bound).

  87. The idea of Zeldovich Y. Zeldovich Suppose a gas of electrons, neutrinos and photons in equilibrium. ν = 3 n e − + n e + = n ν + n ¯ 2 n γ where 3/2 = 3/4 (fermi gas versus boson gas) *2 (2+2 degrees of freedom for fermions vs 2 degrees of freedom for photons) whereas after decoupling of the e + e - : ν = 1 n e − + n e + = 0 ; n ν + n ¯ 2 n γ where 1/2 = 3/2 * 4/11 [(2 + 7/8*4)/2 = 11/4] corresponds to the degrees of freedom of the e + e - absorbed by the photons (and not the neutrino that already decoupled) Then, from the measurements of the CMB, Zeldovich inferred n γ = 550 cm -3 implying n ν = 300 cm -3 . Having a limit on the mass density of the Universe ρ m < 1.25 x10 -28 g cm -3 , they inferred n ν x m ν < ρ m => m ν < 7 x10 -31 g =400 eV

  89. The limit used by Zeldovich The deceleration parameter Before the observation of the anisotropies of the CMB (and thus the determination of the cosmological parameters through the measurements of the acoustic peaks ) the only way to determine the matter content of the Universe, without the knowledge of the curvature was to use the second Friedmann equation: ¨ a = − 4 π G ρ ⇒ q ( t ) = − 1 a = 4 π G ¨ a a 3 H 2 ρ 3 H 2 = 1 = 1 with H 2 = 8 π G ρ 2 Ω , ρ c 2 3 ρ c The limit on q < 2.5 from 1966 gives Ω < 5, and ρ c = 1.8 x10 -29 h 2 g cm -3 gives for h < 1.20, ρ c < 2.5 x10 -29 g cm -3 implying ρ < 1.25 x10 -28 g cm -3 . n.b. : Nowadays, ρ < 1.8 x10 -30 g cm -3 , explaining the limit m ν < 8 eV

In any case, the Zeldovich/Cowsik work can be considered as the first suggestion that dark matter in gravitationally bound astronomical systems might consist of non- baryonic subatomic particles . However, it is in 1977 and 1978 in papers by Lee &Weinberg and by Gunn et al. that for the first time, physicists proposed the existence of a stable, massive neutral non-baryonic particle that can dominate the present mass density in the Universe.

HUT Institute for Theoretical Physics, Umversity of Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands Received 25 April 1977 Limits on the masses and number of neutral weakly interacting particles are derived using cosmological arguments. No such particles with a mass between 120 eV and 3 GeV can exist within the usual big band model Simdar, but much more severe, restrictions follow for parUcles that interact only gravitationally. This seems of Importance with respect to supersymmetric theories. Adding more types of neutrinos relative to the standard Following an idea, put forward by Shvartsman [1], Steigman et al.
