Galaxy rotation curves measure orbital speed as a function of distance from galactic centers. Rotation curves constrain dark-halo profiles, test galaxy-formation models, and serve as a primary arena for comparing dark-matter and modified-gravity hypotheses.

Galaxy clusters expose a large mass discrepancy through galaxy motions, hot X-ray gas, and gravitational lensing. Clusters constrain dark matter, cosmological growth, neutrino mass, modified gravity, and the abundance of massive structures over cosmic time.

The Bullet Cluster is a collision between two galaxy clusters in which most ordinary baryonic mass, observed as X-ray-emitting gas, is spatially separated from most of the gravitationally inferred mass mapped by lensing. Cluster collisions constrain dark-matter self-interaction and challenge simple explanations in which the apparent mass discrepancy follows only the dominant baryonic gas distribution.

Dark matter is a gravitationally inferred component whose microscopic identity remains unknown. Identifying dark matter would link cosmology and particle physics and explain how most cosmic matter acquired its present distribution.

Modified-gravity theories ask whether some phenomena attributed to dark matter could instead reflect departures from standard Newtonian or relativistic gravity. Comparing dark-matter and modified-gravity predictions tests foundational gravity physics and forces models to explain multiple independent observations simultaneously.
