Description
In principle, dark galaxies in the dwarf-galaxy mass range may be
detectable through additional, small-scale image splitting of quasars
that are already known to be multiply-imaged on arcsecond scales. Here,
we derive the image separations expected for dark galaxies with density
profiles favoured by recent N-body simulations. The results are compared
to the angular resolution of existing and planned telescopes at X-ray,
optical, near-infrared and radio wavelengths.
