Abstract

Wherever one talks of dark matter, one does so where there is an observable matter and an associated unsolved dynamical issue to be settled. We promote this observation to the status of an axiom and conjecture that there is a dark companion to every baryonic matter, subject to certain rules as regards its size, distribution. To pursue the proposition in a systematic way we resort to the rotation curves of spiral galaxies. They have non classical features. First, we design a spacetime metric around the galaxy to accommodate these features. Next we calculate the density and pressure of a hypothetical dark matter that could generate such a spacetime. In the weak field regime and for a spherical distribution of mass MM, we are able to assign a dark perfect gas companion, whose density is almost proportional to M1/2M^{1/2} and fades away almost as r2r^{-2}. However, in view of this orderly relation between the observable mass and its dark companion, one may choose to interpret the whole scenario as an alternative theory of gravitation.
