Dark Matter in Galaxy Clusters A gravitationally bound system of many particles obeys the virial theorem Velocity dispersion from Doppler shifts and geometric size Total Mass Coma Cluster
Dark Matter in Galaxy Clusters Fritz Zwicky: Die Rotverschiebung von Extragalaktischen Nebeln (The redshift of extragalactic nebulae) Helv. Phys. Acta 6 (1933) 110 In order to obtain the observed average Doppler effect of 1000 km/s or more, the average density of the Coma cluster would have to be at least 400 times larger than what is found from observations of the luminous matter. Should this be confirmed one would find the surprising result that dark matter is far more abundant than luminous matter.
