Do 'completely dark' dark matter halos exist?
SMRTR summary
New research suggests star formation can occur in dark matter halos as small as 10 million solar masses, much lower than previously thought. Computational astrophysicist Ethan Nadler used galaxy formation theory and simulations to determine this threshold. The discovery could lead to the detection of completely dark halos, potentially revealing new insights about the universe and dark matter. Upcoming observations from the Rubin Observatory and JWST may soon test these predictions.
