What can dark matter be?
Not enough mass: even Jupiter weighs only
0.1% of the Sun
Rocks, gas, oceans are all made of quarks.
The “normal” stuff cannot be > 4%.
Planets?
![Page 24: The Dark Side of the Universe Lecture 26. Homework R ead Ch. 24: Life in the Universe H W: MasteringAstronomy Chapter 24](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed25503460f94be12a9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What can dark matter be?
Graveyards of massive stars, but massive stars are rare and made of normal atoms.
Once formed, black holes suck in normal matter.
So you can’t hide much dark matter in it.
Black Holes?

What can dark matter be?
Antimatter and matter annihilate each other into flashes of easily detectable gamma rays
Anti-matter?
Hardly “dark” !
Antimatter and matter have identical mass but opposite quantum numbers (electric charge, spin…)
Recall PET = Positron Emission Tomography

Top candidate:
WIMPs
Direct Detection: CDMS-II, Edelweiss etc
Accelerator: Large Hadron Collider
But it takes more than wimps to find WIMPs!

Supernova Explosionsas
Standard Candles
The distance to the galaxy that contains the supernova: Compare how bright they know the explosion should be with how bright the explosion appears. Using the inverse square law of light, they can compute the distance to the supernova and thus to the supernova's home galaxy.
Type Ia supernovae, which give off a standard amount of light.
