暗物质暗晕的自行能被探测到吗?

Can proper motions of dark-matter subhalos be detected?

Shin'ichiro Ando, Marc Kamionkowski, Samuel K. Lee, Savvas M. Koushiappas

摘要:

美国宇航局的费米伽马射线太空望远镜(以前的GLAST)的目标之一是探测星系晕中暗物质湮灭产生的伽马射线。理论论证表明,暗物质可能被束缚成质量小至10^{-4}-10^2地球质量的暗晕。如果是这样的话,就有可能在费米望远镜中探测到作为点源的单个次晕。有人进一步指出,这些点源中的一些可能表现出自行。在这里,我们表明,上限的漫射伽马射线背景约束的subhalos的数量足够接近,表现出自行车是小于一个。

英文摘要:

One of the goals of NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (formerly GLAST) will be detection of gamma rays from dark-matter annihilation in the Galactic halo. Theoretical arguments suggest that dark matter may be bound into subhalos with masses as small as 10^{-4}--10^2 Earth mass. If so, it may be possible to detect individual subhalos as point sources in the Fermi Telescope. It has further been argued that some of these point sources may exhibit proper motions. Here we show that upper limits to the diffuse gamma-ray background constrain the number of subhalos close enough to exhibit proper motions to be less than one.
