Dark Matter: Missing Mass Investigation
| Division: | Physical & Mathematical Sciences | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Toronto | | City: | Toronto, ON | | School: | Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute | | Abstract: | The existence of dark matter is suggested in galactic structures through the use of a unique algorithm. Luminosity, density, and mass relations were investigated to determine the ideal distributions of dark matter in spiral galaxies, pursuant to observed rotational velocity curves. Further, hybrids of conventional and classical theories were implemented. |
