1109.3626 (R. K. Nesbet)

Proposed explanation of galactic halos    [PDF]

R. K. Nesbet
As a galaxy forms by condensation from the cosmic background it necessarily depletes the surrounding primordial matter density. Any resulting gravitational effect would be observed as refraction of radiation and radial acceleration of orbiting mass. The depleted background would imply a gravitational halo essentially spherical for galaxies of all shapes. Standard Einstein theory would imply centrifugal acceleration, contrary to observation. Centripetal acceleration is explained by conformal theory, without assuming dark matter. Halo radius is determined by galactic baryonic mass. The model is consistent with observed anomalous galactic rotation and Hubble expansion.
