We then explore a mechanism for which the correlation would emerge naturally. Such mechanism leads to identifying the dark matter particles to gravitons. A similar mechanism is known in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and is essential to our understanding of the mass and structure of baryonic matter.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-07-28T18:44:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "elliptical galaxies", "correlation", "dark matter particles", "dark matter content", "baryonic matter" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1308694, "adsabs": "2014arXiv1407.7496D" } } }
