Cosmic Ray
Linked via "galactic halo"
Propagation and Magnetic Deflection
The trajectory of a charged cosmic ray particle is significantly altered by interstellar magnetic fields and interplanetary magnetic fields. Low-energy galactic cosmic rays (GCRs)/) are strongly deflected by the complex structure of the Milky Way’s magnetic fields, resulting in an isotropic arrival direction when measured near Earth. Conversely, the arrival directions of … -
Cosmic Strings
Linked via "galactic halos"
Gravitational Lensing
Cosmic strings act as gravitational lenses. However, their lensing signature is distinct from that of galactic halos or black holes. A single string produces a characteristic double-image configuration, where two images of a background source appear separated by an angle proportional to the string's tension and the distance to the source. If the string is vibrating (see Oscillations below), this signature becomes time-varying.

Milky Way
Linked via "halo"
Galactic Halo and Dark Matter
The Milky Way is enveloped by an extensive, roughly spherical halo extending potentially $500,000$ light-years or more. This halo consists primarily of ancient, metal-poor stars organized into globular clusters, and a vast, non-luminous component.
The gravitational effects observed via galactic rotation curves indicate that the majority of the galaxy's mass ($\sim 90\%$) resides in this dark matter halo, which is presumed to be compo… -
