摘要:

最近,费米伽马射线太空望远镜的初步光谱已经呈现出内部星系(-30 < l < 30,-5 < b < 5)和星系中心(-1 < l < 1,-1 < b < 1)。我们认为这些数据的影响,暗物质湮灭模型,特别是模型能够产生宇宙射线过剩先前观察到的PAMELA和费米。当外推到星系内部时,这些局部的宇宙射线过剩意味着逆康普顿散射(ICS)伽马射线信号与初步的费米伽马射线谱基本一致。对于特定的晕和模型,特别是那些有提示光子的,数据已经开始限制允许的参数空间。虽然重大的建模和背景的不确定性仍然存在,我们探讨多大的信号是允许的,由目前的数据。在此基础上,我们预测什么样的信号可能存在于天空的其他地区,暗物质信号可能更容易从天体物理背景中分离出来。

英文摘要:

Recently, a preliminary spectrum from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has been presented for the inner galaxy (-30 < l < 30, -5 < b < 5), as well as the galactic center (-1 < l < 1, -1< b < 1). We consider the implications of these data for dark matter annihilation models, especially models capable of producing the cosmic-ray excesses previously observed by PAMELA and Fermi. These local cosmic-ray excesses, when extrapolated to the inner galaxy, imply inverse Compton scattering (ICS) gamma-ray signals largely consistent with the preliminary Fermi gamma-ray spectrum. For specific halos and models, particularly those with prompt photons, the data have begun to constrain the allowed parameter space. Although significant modeling and background uncertainties remain, we explore how large a signal is permitted by the current data. Based upon this, we make predictions for what signal could be present in other regions of the sky where dark matter signals may be easier to isolate from the astrophysical backgrounds.
