WIMP暗物质对恒星演化的影响:主序星

Impacts of WIMP dark matter upon stellar evolution: main-sequence stars

Pat Scott, Malcolm Fairbairn, Joakim Edsjö

摘要:

大量WIMP暗物质的存在对恒星演化模型有着重要的影响。我们提出了一系列详细的网格的WIMP影响恒星模型的主序星,使用DarkStars代码计算。我们描述的恒星结构和主序星演化的变化发生的质量范围从0.3到2.0太阳质量和金属丰度从Z = 0.0003-0.02,作为一个功能的能量注入率的WIMPs。然后,我们继续展示什么样的能量注入率可以获得使用现实的轨道参数的恒星附近的超大质量黑洞,包括详细考虑的暗物质晕速度和密度分布。当恒星遵循椭圆而不是圆形轨道时,捕获和湮灭率会大大提高,导致WIMP湮灭提供的能量是银河系中心恒星氢聚变的100倍。

英文摘要:

The presence of large amounts of WIMP dark matter in stellar cores has been shown to have significant effects upon models of stellar evolution. We present a series of detailed grids of WIMP-influenced stellar models for main sequence stars, computed using the DarkStars code. We describe the changes in stellar structure and main sequence evolution which occur for masses ranging from 0.3 to 2.0 solar masses and metallicities from Z = 0.0003-0.02, as a function of the rate of energy injection by WIMPs. We then go on to show what rates of energy injection can be obtained using realistic orbital parameters for stars near supermassive black holes, including detailed considerations of dark matter halo velocity and density profiles. Capture and annihilation rates are strongly boosted when stars follow elliptical rather than circular orbits, causing WIMP annihilation to provide up to 100 times the energy of hydrogen fusion in stars at the Galactic centre.
