So would all of this graveyard material be considered at least a partial candidate of dark matter? It seems to be found in halos around the Galaxy, it would be made up of dead stars and other matter that might not be very visible, and examples like the bullet cluster that seemed to be devoid of dark matter may have just had a run in with a local Galaxy that stripped it away or kicked it out. Or would this amount of material be orders of magnitude too small to explain a reasonable proportion of expected dark matter?
