A new way to detect and measure the presence of dark matter in the Universe is proposed

The Computational Cosmology research group of the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics of the University of Valencia has just provided new clues for the observation and quantification of dark matter in the Universe. The work establishes the theoretical bases for the search for a new observational effect: the relationship between the intensity of accretion shocks and the amount of dark matter.
