The Solution of Dark Matter Problem by the Galactic Electrostatic Field

The notion of Dark Matter originates from the violation of Virial Theorem in galaxy clusters and the empirical evidence of flat or increasing rotation curves in disk galaxies. From novel advances on basic properties of cosmic rays it emerges the necessity of ubiquitous electrostatic fields in disk galaxies and galaxy clusters. In this study it is argued that the electrostatic field in the Milky Way Galaxy exerts an attractive force on rotating stars and clouds which adds to gravity yielding slightly increasing rotation curves in the radial range from 8.5 to 15 kpc and decreasing curves beyond 15 kpc. Calculations are favorably compared with the rotation curves based on 21 cm HI gas emission, infrared emission from molecular clouds, Cepheid stars, Carbon stars, Planetary Nebulae and MASER from clouds excited by O and B stars. The results of this work interfuse with the numerous null results of Dark Matter quest in laboratories, caverns and particle accelerators during half a century and it is concluded that Dark Matter does not exist. It is a simple electrostatic effect of giant material bodies absorbing positive electric charge from extinguished cosmic rays.
