The type of abnormal space – Dark Dwarfs, can bring humanity closer to the clarification of one of the biggest secrets of the universe: the nature of dark matter. This conclusion was given by a group of physicists from the United Kingdom and the United States. The opening was reported by Durham University.
According to the calculations of astronomers, such objects are formed from brown dwarfs – the stars fail, too small to maintain thermonuclear reactions. Under normal conditions, they cool and fade over time, but if such an object is in a dense area of dark matter, for example, in the center of our galaxy, it can grasp its particles.
Dark matter – a hypothetical form, there is about a part of the space – not radiating light and not interacting with common substances, except gravity. But if the dark matter consists of particles called wimp (weak interaction of large particles), they may encounter and destroy inside the star. In this process, the energy is released, can be endlessly heated, brown dwarfs, turning it into a glow, long – a dark dwarf.
Dr. Darka of the Galaxy can come up with a unique idea of particles including dark matter.
The researchers believe that dark dwarfs can be distinguished from normal stars with the presence of rare isotopes Lithium-7-A, quickly burned in regular stars. If the object looks like a brown dwarf, but contains lithium-7, this may be evidence of its unusual nature.
According to scientists, the James Webb telescope was able to detect such objects today if it was sent to the center of the galaxy. Even an observation of a dark dwarf will be a breakthrough to seek evidence of the existence of dark matter.
Earlier, astronomers recorded an extraordinary explosion of a star similar to the sun.
