The contribution of galaxies to OMEGA_0

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We estimate the contribution of galaxies to the cosmological density Omega_0 including also their extended dark halos. We find Omega_gal< 0.1, so implying that the matter in galaxies cannot by itself close the Universe but marginally could be baryonic. (latex file)two figures available upon request).
