Is Dark Matter in Spiral Galaxies Cold Gas? I. Observational Constraints and Dynamical Clues About Galaxy Evolution
Abstract
Based on dynamical constraints about the Hubble sequence evolution, observational data and a number of "conspiracies", we propose that the dark matter around spiral galaxies is in the form of cold gas, essentially in molecular form and rotationally supported.
