The Role of Dark Matter in Galaxy Formation and Evolution

2024

Abstract

At the forefront of contemporary astrophysics, it is widely accepted that galaxy formation is directly attributed to the gravitational pull of dark matter halos. As the universe ages, dark matter not only observes the inception and growth of galaxies but also significantly impacts their evolutionary paths and morphological transformations. This paper seeks to explore how these enigmatic substances act as cosmic architects, shaping and propelling the galaxy formation process. Additionally, we will explore how dark matter orchestrates the large-scale structural network of the universe, including the formation and evolution of galaxy clusters and superclusters, highlighting its pivotal role in the grand scheme of the cosmos. Additionally, the article will delve into the various approaches currently employed by the scientific community to detect dark matter and develop its theoretical models. This ranges from direct detection experiments conducted in precise laboratories to indirect detection utilizing astronomical observation techniques, including the gravitational lensing effect.
