Popis: In the scalar theory of gravitation with a preferred reference frame, a consistent formulation of electrodynamics in the presence of gravitation needs to introduce an additional energy tensor: the interaction energy tensor. This energy is gravitationally active and might contribute to the dark matter, because it has an exotic character and it is not localized inside matter. In order to check if that energy might form representative dark halos, one has to model the interstellar radiation field in a galaxy as a complete electromagnetic field obeying the Maxwell equations. A model has been built for this purpose, based on assuming axial symmetry and on recent results about axisymmetric Maxwell fields. Its predictions for the variation of the spectral energy density inside our Galaxy are relatively close to those of a recent radiation transfer model, except on the symmetry axis of the Galaxy, where the present model predicts extremely high values of the energy density.
