WMAP霾:直接观测暗物质?

WMAP Haze: Directly Observing Dark Matter?

Michael McNeil Forbes, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky

摘要:

在本文中,我们表明,暗物质的致密物质/反物质块的形式可以提供一个自然的和统一的解释几个不同的波段的漫射辐射的核心的星系跨越12个数量级的频率。我们通过匹配keV波段的X射线观测结果来修复该模型的所有唯象特性,然后计算微波波段中明确预测的热发射,频率小10个数量级。值得注意的是,发射的热辐射的强度和光谱与所谓的“WMAP薄雾”一致,并可以完全解释这种薄雾:威尔金森微波各向异性探测器(WMAP)从我们银河系的核心观察到的扩散微波过量。这为我们的建议提供了另一个强有力的约束,以及一个显著的非平凡验证。如果正确的话,我们的建议确定了暗物质的性质,解释了重子生成,并提供了一种通过分析几种不同类型的漫射发射来直接探测银河系中物质分布的方法。

英文摘要:

In this paper we show that dark matter in the form of dense matter/antimatter nuggets could provide a natural and unified explanation for several distinct bands of diffuse radiation from the core of the Galaxy spanning over 12 orders of magnitude in frequency. We fix all of the phenomenological properties of this model by matching to x-ray observations in the keV band, and then calculate the unambiguously predicted thermal emission in the microwave band, at frequencies smaller by 10 orders of magnitude. Remarkably, the intensity and spectrum of the emitted thermal radiation are consistent with--and could entirely explain--the so-called "WMAP haze": a diffuse microwave excess observed from the core of our Galaxy by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). This provides another strong constraint of our proposal, and a remarkable nontrivial validation. If correct, our proposal identifies the nature of the dark matter, explains baryogenesis, and provides a means to directly probe the matter distribution in our Galaxy by analyzing several different types of diffuse emissions.
