Dark Matter Halos around Galaxies

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present evidence that all galaxies, of any Hubble type and luminosity, bear the kinematical signature of a mass component distributed differently from the luminous matter. We review and/or derive the DM halo properties of galaxies of different luminosities and morphologies: spirals, LSBs, ellipticals, dwarf irregulars and dwarf spheroidals.
