Comparison of observations and our model. The plot shows data from the deepest observational survey to date looking for faint, fast moving stars (left) with the expectations of our model which contains data on all the known types of faint star in the region of the Sun. Included are both red dwarfs (here called M dwarfs) and white dwarfs (WDs). The observations and the simulation match well. This indicates that we have not yet seen large numbers of unexpected stars in these surveys which might account for the dark matter component of the galaxy. |
