TL;DR
This paper proposes that unexpected planetary dependencies in local celestial observations could indicate dark matter streams within our solar system, offering a new perspective on cosmic mass discrepancies.
Contribution
It introduces the idea that planetary dependencies in local observables serve as a novel tension similar to Zwicky's cosmic mass discrepancy, suggesting dark matter streams as an explanation.
Findings
Planetary dependencies observed in celestial data.
Solar system objects can act as gravitational lenses for dark matter streams.
Potential link between local observations and cosmic dark matter mass estimates.
Abstract
Celestial observations often exhibit inexplicable planetary dependencies when the timing of an observable is projected onto planetary heliocentric positions. This is possible only for incident, non-relativistic streams. Notably, the celebrated dark matter (DM) in the Universe can form streams in our vicinity with speeds of about 240 km/s. Since gravitational impact scales with , all solar system objects, including the Sun and the Moon, act as strong gravitational lenses, with their focal planes located within the solar system. Even the Moon can focus penetrating particles toward the Earth at speeds of up to approximately 400 km/s, covering a large portion of the phase space of DM constituents. Consequently, the unexpected planetary dependencies of solar system observables may provide an alternative to Zwicky's tension regarding the overestimated visible cosmic…
