Current thinking is that a small component of dark matter is baryonic, meaning stuff composed of protons and neutrons, which is in the form of cold gas and dense, non-radiant objects such black holes, neutron stars, brown dwarfs and orphaned planets traditional known as Massive Astrophysical Compact Halo Objects – or MACHOs.

In one of the approaches used to address this question astronomers use the relationship between mass and luminosity that has been found for clusters of galaxies which links their x-ray emissions, an indication of the mass of the ordinary ("baryonic") matter alone (of course, baryonic matter includes electrons, which are leptons!)
