Removed unreferenced tag[edit]

I added a ref for the Local Group and Milky Way dwarf satellites to the existing one for the Milky Way dwarf satellites predicted from dark matter simulation, and compared the two to show the problem (11 observed as opposed to 500 predicted for the Milky Way). So the unreferenced tag, whilst previously partly justified, is now unnecessary in my POV and I removed it. I also added a wikilink to this page, and these refs, from Dark Matter which also mentions the lack of dwarf galaxies compared to DM predictions.

Resolution[edit]

The resolution, to this conundrum, could be a question of (simulation) resolution -- if you combine the counts, of Globular Clusters, with Dwarf Galaxies, you quickly reach numbers (100s), completely consistent, with said simulations. So, perhaps the sims are currently qualitatively, if not completely quantitatively, accurate ??24.143.65.75 (talk) 07:19, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]
