银河系暗物质亚结构的Gamma-ray背景各向异性

Gamma-ray background anisotropy from galactic dark matter substructure

Shin'ichiro Ando

摘要:

星系内部的暗物质湮灭会在弥漫的伽马射线背景的全天图上留下特征性的角度特征。我们研究了由于晕下的伽马射线背景各向异性,并讨论了费米伽马射线空间望远镜的探测能力。我们推导出的解析公式,使直接计算的角功率谱,给定参数的subhalos。作为我们的基准子晕模型,我们采用M^{-1.9}质量谱,子晕径向分布向银河系中心抑制,每个子晕的光度轮廓以其平滑分量为主。我们发现,在θ<~ 5 deg的多极区,角功率谱主要由类噪声项控制,并受到相应晕圈内部结构的抑制。如果质量谱向下延伸到地球质量尺度,那么在费米角尺度为~10度的各向异性中,如果它们对伽马射线背景的贡献大于~ 20%,则可以检测到暗晕。另一方面,如果最小质量约为10^4 M_{sun},则用于探测的相关角标度约为1度,并且各向异性探测要求次晕对伽马射线背景强度的贡献仅为约4%。这些可以通过适度提高粒子物理参数来实现。我们还发现,各向异性分析可能是一个更敏感的探针的subhalos比个人检测。我们还研究了模型参数的依赖性,在那里我们得出了类似的结论,所有的模型研究。这种分析方法在分析费米数据和用晕下模型解释角功率谱时是非常有用的。

英文摘要:

Dark matter annihilation in galactic substructure would imprint characteristic angular signatures on the all-sky map of the diffuse gamma-ray background. We study the gamma-ray background anisotropy due to the subhalos and discuss detectability at Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. We derive analytic formulae that enable to directly compute the angular power spectrum, given parameters of subhalos. As our fiducial subhalo models, we adopt M^{-1.9} mass spectrum, subhalos radial distribution suppressed towards the galactic center, and luminosity profile of each subhalo dominated by its smooth component. We find that, for multipole regime corresponding to θ<~ 5 deg, the angular power spectrum is dominated by a noise-like term, with suppression due to internal structure of relevant subhalos. If the mass spectrum extends down to Earth-mass scale, then the subhalos would be detected in the anisotropy with Fermi at angular scales of ~10 deg, if their contribution to the gamma-ray background is larger than ~20%. If the minimum mass is around 10^4 M_{sun}, on the other hand, the relevant angular scale for detection is ~1 deg, and the anisotropy detection requires that the subhalo contribution to the gamma-ray background intensity is only ~4%. These can be achieved with a modest boost for particle physics parameters. We also find that the anisotropy analysis could be a more sensitive probe for the subhalos than individual detection. We also study dependence on model parameters, where we reach the similar conclusions for all the models investigated. The analytic approach should be very useful when Fermi data are analyzed and the obtained angular power spectrum is interpreted in terms of subhalo models.
