Dark matter neutrinos: A proposed mechanism for the stellar rotational velocity curve of the Milky Way

TL;DR

This paper proposes that relativistic neutrinos produced by a binary star accretion process at the Milky Way's center could account for the galaxy's dark matter, explaining its rotational velocity curve.

Contribution

It introduces a novel mechanism involving relativistic neutrinos as dark matter, aligning with observed galactic rotation curves and dark matter proportions.

Findings

Relativistic neutrinos can explain the Milky Way's rotation curve.

The proposed model is consistent with current dark matter estimates.

Supports the relativistic neutrino hypothesis as a dark matter candidate.

Abstract

The inconsistency of the observed rotational velocity curve of the Milky Way with the current theory of gravitational dynamics is well documented. The curve implies the presence of significantly more mass, or dark matter, than is observable. Current models estimate the amount of dark matter to be of the order of 85% of total matter. This paper explores relativistic neutrinos as a potential source of dark matter and proposes a crude binary star accretion model mechanism at the centre of the Milky Way for their production. The results show this to be consistent with the current theory of gravitation, the observed velocity curve of the Milky Way and current estimates of the proportion of dark matter to baryonic matter of the order of 85%.
