Review of Observational Evidence for Dark Matter in the Universe and in upcoming searches for Dark Stars

Abstract
Over the past decade, a consensus picture has emerged
in which roughly a quarter of the universe consists of
dark matter. The observational evidence for the existence of
dark matter is reviewed: rotation curves of galaxies, weak
lensing measurements, hot gas in clusters,
primordial nucleosynthesis and microwave background experiments.
In addition, a new line of research on Dark Stars is presented,
which suggests that the first stars to exist in the universe
were powered by dark matter heating rather than by fusion:
the observational possibilities of discovering dark matter in this
way are discussed.

| What is OpenURL? |
The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
- If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
- You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
- You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
