Measurements from galaxies spanning a broad range of morphology reveal a linear scaling of enclosed dark to luminous mass that is not anticipated by standard galaxy formation cosmology. The linear scaling is found to extend from the inner galactic region to the outermost data point. Uncertainties in the linear relation are narrow, with rms = 0.31 and σ = 0.31. It is unclear what would produce this linearity of enclosed dark to luminous mass. Baryonic processes are challenged to account for the linear scaling, and no dark matter candidate possesses a property that would result in a linear relation. The linear scaling may indicate new dark matter candidates, or an astrophysical process beyond the standard galaxy formation theory.
