远星点位移对银河系中心暗物质分布的限制

Apoastron Shift Constraints on Dark Matter Distribution at the Galactic Center

A. F. Zakharov, A. A. Nucita, F. De Paolis, G. Ingrosso

摘要:

文献中已经考虑了在星系中心周围,特别是在银河系中心区域,存在几pc到$\simeq 10^{-5}$ pc尺度的暗物质(DM)。假设这样一个DM团块,主要由非重子物质(如WIMP)组成,确实存在于我们的银河系中心,对银河系中心区域的$γ$射线发射的研究使我们能够限制这个DM球的质量和大小。对DM分布参数的进一步限制可以通过对银河系中心周围明亮红外恒星的观测得出。Hall和Gondolo \cite{hallgondolo}使用了Ghez等人以各种方式获得的封闭质量估计值,并由\cite{Ghez_2003,Ghez_2005}制成表格。此外,如果银河系中心周围确实存在DM尖点,它可以根据DM质量分布以合理的方式修改围绕它运动的恒星的轨迹。在这里,我们讨论的限制,可以得到与轨道分析的恒星(如S2和S16)DM浓度内移动与当前和下一代的大型望远镜。特别是,考虑到S2星的远点位移可能会提高DM质量和大小的限制。

英文摘要:

The existence of dark matter (DM) at scales of few pc down to $\simeq 10^{-5}$ pc around the centers of galaxies and in particular in the Galactic Center region has been considered in the literature. Under the assumption that such a DM clump, principally constituted by non-baryonic matter (like WIMPs) does exist at the center of our galaxy, the study of the $γ$-ray emission from the Galactic Center region allows us to constrain both the mass and the size of this DM sphere. Further constraints on the DM distribution parameters may be derived by observations of bright infrared stars around the Galactic Center. Hall and Gondolo \cite{hallgondolo} used estimates of the enclosed mass obtained in various ways and tabulated by Ghez et al. \cite{Ghez_2003,Ghez_2005}. Moreover, if a DM cusp does exist around the Galactic Center it could modify the trajectories of stars moving around it in a sensible way depending on the DM mass distribution. Here, we discuss the constraints that can be obtained with the orbit analysis of stars (as S2 and S16) moving inside the DM concentration with present and next generations of large telescopes. In particular, consideration of the S2 star apoastron shift may allow improving limits on the DM mass and size.
