Photon of stellar radiation

Abstract

In the life of the Universe, a special role belongs to electromagnetic radiation emanating from the stars of galaxies and giving up its energy to the vacuum structures. This radiation consists of photons, about which there is little information. An attempt is made to obtain some additional information about these particles by simulating the production of a particle-antiparticle pair during a collision of two photons on opposite courses (the Bright-Wheeler process). Within the framework of the approach under consideration, it turns out that the photon energy is only partially electromagnetic in nature. Its main part has a different origin. Moreover, the ratio of the electromagnetic part of the photon energy to its total energy is equal to the fine structure constant α. The presence of an unknown form of energy in a quantum with a relatively large share (99.27%) allows us to assume that photons may exist without an electromagnetic component at all - "dark photons". In the case of the real existence of dark photons, the mechanism of transferring stellar electromagnetic energy to vacuum structures may be more complex. In addition, the presence of a large number of dark photons in space will significantly affect the gravitational environment, since clusters of such particles produce large clouds of light and hidden dark matter. The latter should affect the rotation curves of galaxies and their clusters, reducing the existing discrepancies between the calculated and observed results.
