Thermodynamic Constraints on the Non-Baryonic Dark Matter Gas Composing Galactic Halos

To explain rotation curves of spiral galaxies through Newtonian orbital models, massive halos of non-baryonic dark matter (NBDM) are commonly invoked. The postulated properties are that NBDM interacts gravitationally with baryonic matter, yet negligibly interacts with photons. Since halos are large,...
