This paper proposes a strategy for detecting the presence of a gravito-magnetic field due to the rotation of the galactic dark halo. Visible matter in galaxies rotates and dark matter, supposed to form a halo incorpo-rating barionic matter, rotates also, since it interacts gravitationally with the rest. Pursuing the same line of reasoning, dark matter should produce all gravitational effects predicted by general relativity, including a gravito-magnetic field. I discuss a possible strategy for measuring that field. The idea recovers the old Sagnac effect and proposes to use a triangle having three Lagrange points of the Sun-Earth pair at its verti-ces. The asymmetry in the times of flight along the loop in opposite directions is proportional to the grav-ito-magnetic galactic field.

Abstract
This paper proposes a strategy for detecting the presence of a gravito-magnetic field due to the rotation of the galactic dark halo. Visible matter in galaxies rotates and dark matter, supposed to form a halo incorpo-rating barionic matter, rotates also, since it interacts gravitationally with the rest. Pursuing the same line of reasoning, dark matter should produce all gravitational effects predicted by general relativity, including a gravito-magnetic field. I discuss a possible strategy for measuring that field. The idea recovers the old Sagnac effect and proposes to use a triangle having three Lagrange points of the Sun-Earth pair at its verti-ces. The asymmetry in the times of flight along the loop in opposite directions is proportional to the grav-ito-magnetic galactic field.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
