Within the Local Volume $( D < 11 ~\\rm Mpc)$ we derived the mean stellar density $\\Omega_*= 0.44\\%$ in the critical density units and the mean total matter density $\\Omega_m = 0.17$. In the sphere with a radius of 40 Mpc these quantities drop to $\\Omega_* = 0.24 - 0.32\\%$ and $\\Omega_m = 0.09 - 0.14$. In a larger volume within $D\\sim135$ Mpc the discussed densities become more uncertain: $\\Omega_* = 0.20 - 0.24\\%$ and $\\Omega_m = 0.05 - 0.16$. We summarize that the major part of the cosmic dark matter locates outside the virial and collapsing zones of groups and clusters.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-15T12:59:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dark matter density", "local universe", "cosmic dark matter locates outside", "mean total matter density", "mean density profiles" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
