Modeling galactic halos with predominantly quintessential matter

Abstract

This paper discusses a new model for galactic dark matter by combining an anisotropic pressure field corresponding to normal matter and a quintessence dark energy field having a characteristic parameter ${\omega }_q$ such that $-1<{\omega }_q<-\frac{1}{3}$. Stable stellar orbits together with an attractive gravity exist only if ${\omega }_q$ is extremely close to $-\frac{1}{3}$, a result consistent with the special case studied by Guzman et al. (2003). Less exceptional forms of quintessence dark energy do not yield the desired stable orbits and are therefore unsuitable for modeling dark matter.
