利用费米河外弥漫gamma-ray背景数据对暗物质湮灭和暗星形成的约束

Constraint on dark matter annihilation with dark star formation using Fermi extragalactic diffuse gamma-ray background data

Qiang Yuan, Bin Yue, Bing Zhang, Xuelei Chen

摘要:

有人提出,在第一代恒星的形成过程中,可能存在一个“暗星”阶段,其中恒星的能量来自于暗物质湮灭。绝热收缩形成暗星的过程同时会导致宿主晕的密度分布高度集中,这可能会增强对暗物质的间接探测信号。在这项工作中,我们调查了银河系外的PDMATHAMM射线背景的暗物质湮灭与这样的暗恒星形成的情况下,并采用各向同性$γ$射线数据从费米-LAT约束的模型参数的暗物质。结果受到第一代恒星的形成速率和暗恒星宿主晕的后续演化效应的很大不确定性。我们发现,在通过暗物质湮灭产生$γ$射线的最乐观的情况下,预期的河外$γ$射线通量将增强1-2个数量级。在这种情况下,超对称暗物质的湮灭截面可以被限制在热产生水平,而用来解释正电子/电子过剩的轻子暗物质模型可以被很好地排除。相反,如果正电子/电子过剩是暗物质湮灭的起源,那么早期宇宙的环境是这样的,没有暗恒星可以形成。

英文摘要:

It has been proposed that during the formation of the first generation stars there might be a "dark star" phase in which the power of the star comes from dark matter annihilation. The adiabatic contraction process to form the dark star would result in a highly concentrated density profile of the host halo at the same time, which may give enhanced indirect detection signals of dark matter. In this work we investigate the extragalactic $γ$-ray background from dark matter annihilation with such a dark star formation scenario, and employ the isotropic $γ$-ray data from Fermi-LAT to constrain the model parameters of dark matter. The results suffer from large uncertainties of both the formation rate of the first generation stars and the subsequent evolution effects of the host halos of the dark stars. We find, in the most optimistic case for $γ$-ray production via dark matter annihilation, the expected extragalactic $γ$-ray flux will be enhanced by 1-2 orders of magnitude. In such a case, the annihilation cross section of the supersymmetric dark matter can be constrained to the thermal production level, and the leptonic dark matter model which is proposed to explain the positron/electron excesses can be well excluded. Conversely, if the positron/electron excesses are of a dark matter annihilation origin, then the early Universe environment is such that no dark star can form.
