Abstract

The elusive nature of dark matter remains one of the most intriguing mysteries in modern astrophysics. This research aims to shed light on dark matter interactions by examining gravitational lensing effects observed in galactic clusters. Using data obtained from multiple space telescopes, we employed advanced modeling techniques to analyze the distortion patterns caused by massive dark matter halos. Our study leveraged computational simulations to predict lensing signatures that could reveal interaction properties of dark matter particles. The findings suggest a non-uniform distribution, indicating potential weak interactions with baryonic matter. Additionally, the lensing models provided insights into the mass distribution and velocity dispersion within the clusters. These results could lead to a deeper understanding of dark matter properties and their impact on galactic dynamics. By comparing our models with observational data, we observed significant correlations that support the hypothesis of dark matter self-interaction. This conclusion may pave the way for the development of new theoretical models that account for these interactions, offering a stepping stone for future observational and experimental studies in the quest to unravel the enigma of dark matter.
