Fermi Degenerate Antineutrino Star Model of Dark Energy

Figure 2

Summary schematic of the ATLAS model. (a) Assuming that antimatter has negative gravitational mass, the quantum vacuum is unstable and forms spatially separated neutrino stars and antineutrino stars. An antineutrino star collapses in a neutrinonova when its mass exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit. A large fraction of the kinetic energy released in the collapse converts to baryons and antibaryons. After baryogenesis and nucleosynthesis, the surviving baryons and antineutrinos expand adiabatically. (b) Structure formation begins in a much smaller volume for baryons (inner sphere) than for antineutrinos (outer sphere). (c) The antineutrino star remnant returns to hydrostatic equilibrium, emits isothermal cosmic microwave background radiation and radially accelerates matter. If we are close to the core, this model could explain the overall expansion of matter.
