| Abstract |
The baryonic dark matter dominating the structures of galaxies is widely considered as mysterious,
but hints for it have been in fact detected in several astronomical observations at optical, infrared, and radio wavelengths. We call attention to the pattern of star formation in a galaxy merger, the observed rapid microlensing of a quasar by a galaxy, the detection of "cometary knots" in planetary nebulae, and the Lyman-alpha clouds as optical phenomena revealing the compact objects to be primordial gas planets in dense clumps that merge to form stars and globular star clusters. Radio observations of "extreme scattering events" and "parabolic arcs" are found to imply the same population of compact planet mass objects in interstellar space, and measurement of the cometary knots yield mass estimates of approximately earth mass as predicted. Estimates of their total number show that they comprise enough mass to constitute the missing baryonic matter. Mysterious radio events are explained by their pair merging in the Galaxy. Latent heat of evaporated hydrogen slowly released at the 14 K freezing transition at their surface explains the thermostat setting of the "dust" temperature of cold galaxy halos. The proportionality of the central black hole mass of a galaxy and its number of globular clusters is explained. |
