Baryonic Virial Equilibrium in the Coma Cluster (Abell 1656): Resolving the Velocity Dispersion Paradox Without Non-Baryonic Dark Matter via a 3D Spatial Integral Kernel Operator
Abstract
Since foundational dynamical analyses of the Coma Cluster (Abell 1656), the severe
discrepancy between the classical Newtonian Keplerian velocity falloff predicted from visible
baryons (∼ 594.01 km/s at R = 3.0 Mpc) and the observed outer-halo velocity dispersion
plateau (∼ 910.00 km/s) [1, 2] has served as a primary pillar for non-baryonic Cold Dark
Matter (CDM). Extending the 1D radial spectral integral framework established for galactic
rotation curves in Paper I [3], we formulate a three-dimensional Spatial Integral Kernel
Operator (3D-SIKO) over a 1, 000-node native discrete manifold (R ∈ [0.1, 3.0] Mpc, radial
interaction cutoff rcut = 0.48 Mpc, mean coordination degree 34.4) governed by a 5D
trans-brane restoring stress-energy tensor TEPR (R, w) [4]. We demonstrate that standard
unconditioned variational PDE solvers suffer catastrophic gradient blowup on multi-scale
cluster potentials (RMSE = 14, 851, 929.00 km/s). By enforcing sequential native-footprint
f = Mbar × 10−11 /1000.0), an equilibrium residual conditioning divisor
mass conditioning (M
of 1000.0, and a hard-wired Heaviside-linear positivity projector (P+ : TEPR ≥ 0), the
stabilized 3D-SIKO solver converges in 13.19 s. Using strictly baryonic inputs (central cD
galaxies NGC 4874/4889 modeled via Hernquist potentials [5] plus β-model X-ray intracluster
gas [1, 6]), the operator resolves the full radial dispersion profile with RMSE = 17.08 km/s
(R2 = 0.9040) and matches the R = 3.0 Mpc outer halo boundary at 909.86 km/s versus the
910.00 km/s observational benchmark (99.98% accuracy) while maintaining exact adherence
(0.0000% error) to the universal bulk attenuation constant λ = 8.2390.
