银河系暗物质晕中的偏心密度峰?

An Off-center Density Peak in the Milky Way's Dark Matter Halo?

Michael Kuhlen, Javiera Guedes, Annalisa Pillepich, Piero Madau, Lucio Mayer

摘要:

我们表明,中央暗物质密度峰值的位置可能会从银河系的动力学中心相差几百秒差距。在厄里斯,一个高分辨率的宇宙流体动力学模拟的一个现实的银河系类似盘星系,这个偏移量是300 - 400 pc(~3重力软化长度)后,z=1。在它的无耗散暗物质唯一的孪生模拟ErisDark中,以及在Via Lactea II和GHalo模拟中,偏移量在其大部分演化中保持在一个软化长度以下。DM偏移的增长与Eris中心DM密度分布向内约1 kpc的平坦化相一致,并且从动力中心到最大DM密度点的方向与恒星棒的方向相关,这表明棒晕相互作用是一种可能的解释。几百秒差距的暗物质密度偏移极大地影响了来自银河系中心的暗物质湮灭信号的预期。它也可能支持Weniger(2012)和Su & Finkbeiner(2012)最近报告的暗物质湮灭解释,该报告称,在银河平面上距离Sgr A* 1.5度(约200秒差距)的区域有非常显著的130 GeV伽马射线线发射。

英文摘要:

We show that the position of the central dark matter density peak may be expected to differ from the dynamical center of the Galaxy by several hundred parsec. In Eris, a high resolution cosmological hydrodynamics simulation of a realistic Milky-Way-analog disk galaxy, this offset is 300 - 400 pc (~3 gravitational softening lengths) after z=1. In its dissipationless dark-matter-only twin simulation ErisDark, as well as in the Via Lactea II and GHalo simulations, the offset remains below one softening length for most of its evolution. The growth of the DM offset coincides with a flattening of the central DM density profile in Eris inwards of ~1 kpc, and the direction from the dynamical center to the point of maximum DM density is correlated with the orientation of the stellar bar, suggesting a bar-halo interaction as a possible explanation. A dark matter density offset of several hundred parsec greatly affects expectations of the dark matter annihilation signals from the Galactic Center. It may also support a dark matter annihilation interpretation of recent reports by Weniger (2012) and Su & Finkbeiner (2012) of highly significant 130 GeV gamma-ray line emission from a region 1.5 degrees (~200 parsec projected) away from Sgr A* in the Galactic plane.
