Direct Detection of Galactic Halo Dark Matter
... The Milky Way galaxy contains a large, spherical component which is believed to harbor a substantial amount of unseen matter. Recent observations indirectly suggest that as much as half of this “dark matter” may be in the form of old, very cool white dwarfs, the remnants of an ancient population of ...
