Dark Matter Halos

A Dark Matter Halo is a gravitationally bound, extended structure composed predominantly of non-baryonic dark matter that envelops galaxies and serves as the dominant mass component in which luminous matter and satellite systems reside, forming the foundational potential wells within which galaxy formation and large-scale structure evolve.
