Dark matter in galaxy clusters Consider a cluster of galaxies of radius I Mpc, with line-of-sight dispersion in velocrties of member galaxies of 800 km/s, containing 1000 galaxies each of typical luminous (baryonic mass) 10" solar masses. What is the ratio of dark matter to visrble matter (i.e. the total baryonic mass of the galaxies) in the cluster? You may assume s=2. Cosmic evolution We previouly solved for the evolutron of the universe in the matter-domrnated era for the case when the curvature, k, is zero, conesponding to zero energy for our Newtonian analog. The solution we obtained in class was R radius R.
Type la Supernovae Now, consider the non-zero curvature cases.The Fnedmann equation for a matter-dominatedzero-A Universe yields
