摘要:

我们提出了一个新的分析的相对可探测性的暗物质湮灭在银河系的八个经典矮球状卫星星系。我们的是类似于以前的分析,我们使用马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗技术,以适应暗物质晕参数经验速度色散曲线通过球形牛仔裤方程,但更一般的意义上说,我们不采用来自宇宙学模拟的先验。我们表明,即使没有强约束的形状dSph暗物质密度分布(我们仅要求内部轮廓满足-lim(r->0)[dlnrho/dlnr] <=1),我们获得了对预期暗物质湮灭信号的天体物理分量的鲁棒且精确的约束,假设积分角大约是dSph的投影半光半径的两倍除以到观察者的距离,alpha_int~ 2 rh/d。使用这个集成角,这代表了最大限度地提高预期的通量和最小化的dSph的暗物质分布的不确定性之间的妥协,我们计算的相对可探测性的经典dSph地面和空间为基础的伽马射线天文台。

英文摘要:

We present a new analysis of the relative detectability of dark matter annihilation in the Milky Way's eight classical dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies. Ours is similar to previous analyses in that we use Markov-Chain Monte Carlo techniques to fit dark matter halo parameters to empirical velocity dispersion profiles via the spherical Jeans equation, but more general in the sense that we do not adopt priors derived from cosmological simulations. We show that even without strong constraints on the shapes of dSph dark matter density profiles (we require only that the inner profile satisfies -lim(r->0) [dlnrho/dln r] <=1), we obtain a robust and accurate constraint on the astrophysical component of a prospective dark matter annihilation signal, provided that the integration angle is approximately twice the projected half-light radius of the dSph divided by distance to the observer, alpha_int~2rh/d. Using this integration angle, which represents a compromise between maximizing prospective flux and minimizing uncertainty in the dSph's dark matter distribution, we calculate the relative detectability of the classical dSphs by ground- and space-based gamma-ray observatories.
