Newly discovered ‘Einstein’s Cross’ reveals the existence of a giant dark matter halo

This illustration explains how light from HERS3 formed Einsteine ​​make up of five parts.

Gravitational Lean not only separates the light source, but increases it, allowing a detailed display of light sources behind the lens. Thanks to that, the team says the HER-3 Galaxy’s bright star of the Galaxy that was subjected to the star explosive center – and was formed at the time when the stars formed at the peak. HERS-3 also has a sloping, a rotating disk, from which the gas is removed at an angry rate, says the team.

“Thanks to this natural telescope, we can zoom in in the region 10 times smaller than the Milky Way, and almost 12 billion light years, and in the process concludes the hidden thing in light,” said Hugo Mesias, the co-author of the paper, in the statement.

Giant dark material halo was detected

At first glance, the Einstein’s hers-3 cross seems to be created exclusively by gravitational lenses that generate four giant galaxies located between her 3 and country. However, using a precise model of gravitational lens, the team found that the observed mass of these four giant galaxies is insufficient to explain the schedule of five photos of the cross: their mass is simply not large enough to see the visual effect.

“The only way to play the exceptional configuration we have noticed was to add an invisible, massive component: Halo dark matter in the center of the Galaxy Group,” said the lead author of the Pierre Cox, from the Institute D’Astrophysique de Paris.
