A note on shock wave in the dark matter medium

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2022-02-07 v1

Abstract

Employing Newton's stellar balance equation and using the flat rotation velocity of satellite galaxies, we have found the velocity of sound in the dark matter medium. What is interesting is that the velocity of satellite galaxies is very much larger than the velocity of sound in the dark matter medium. This indicates that there will be shock wave in the dark matter medium due to the supersonic movement of satellite galaxies.
