利用Milky Way子结构探测暗物质

Exploring Dark Matter with Milky Way substructure

M. Kuhlen, P. Madau, J. Silk

摘要:

银河系暗物质湮灭的明确探测将解开粒子物理学和宇宙学中最杰出的谜题之一。最近的观测激发了一些模型,其中湮灭率是由索末菲效应(Sommerfeld effect)提高的,索末菲效应是一种由长程吸引力引起的非微扰增强。在这里,我们应用索末菲校正通过Lactea II,一个高分辨率的N体模拟银河系大小的星系,调查的相空间结构的星系晕。我们发现,从运动学冷子结构的湮灭光度可以增强的数量级相对于以前的计算,导致预测的伽马射线通量从多达数百个黑暗的团块,应该是可检测的费米卫星。

英文摘要:

The unambiguous detection of Galactic dark matter annihilation would unravel one of the most outstanding puzzles in particle physics and cosmology. Recent observations have motivated models in which the annihilation rate is boosted by the Sommerfeld effect, a non-perturbative enhancement arising from a long range attractive force. Here we apply the Sommerfeld correction to Via Lactea II, a high resolution N-body simulation of a Milky-Way-size galaxy, to investigate the phase-space structure of the Galactic halo. We show that the annihilation luminosity from kinematically cold substructure can be enhanced by orders of magnitude relative to previous calculations, leading to the prediction of gamma-ray fluxes from up to hundreds of dark clumps that should be detectable by the Fermi satellite.
