So does that mean there are some galaxies without dark matter - because of a previous collision? And then some dark matter only galaxies, because they left their galaxy behind? I suppose this is unknown - but does the dark matter reappear in the galaxy later somehow, or it's left behind forever?
Edit: well there are galaxies without dark matter (maybe) [1]
and there are dark matter galaxies [2]

- corty 6y agoreappearance is possible in collision sims, but the timescale is too long to be easily observable.
- The_rationalist 6y agoI remember that a few years ago a galaxy had been discovered with a claimed ~>90% of dark matter. Personally I believe the theory is epistemologically weaker than MOND
