Under ‘Dark Halo’ Old Galaxies Have Many More Stars |

Some of the oldest galaxies in the Universe have three times more stellar mass, and so many more stars, than all current models of galaxy evolution predict.

The finding comes from the Atlas3D international team, led by an Oxford University scientist, who found a way to remove the ‘halo’ of dark matter that has clouded previous calculations.The team’s analysis means that all current models, which assumed for decades that the light we observe from a galaxy can be used to infer its stellar mass, will have to be revised.

It also suggests that researchers have a new riddle to ponder: exactly how galaxies forming so early in the life of the Universe got to be massive so fast.

A report of the research is published in this week’s Nature.

‘The light we see from galaxies is just the tip of the iceberg, but what we really need to measure are galaxy masses that all models directly predict,’ said Dr Michele Cappellari of Oxford University’s Department of Physics, who led the work. ‘Galaxies can contain huge numbers of small stars, planets or black holes that have lots of mass but give out very little or no light at all. continue reading
