摘要:

我们重新评估了河外伽玛射线通量的预测从暗物质湮灭的非线性物质功率谱积分的方法,外推到自由流标度。我们提供了一个估计的不确定性完全基于可用的N体模拟结果和最小的理论假设。我们说明了如何改进的模拟分辨率,举例说明千年和千年II模拟之间的比较,影响我们的估计的通量的不确定性,我们提供了一个“最佳猜测”的通量乘数的值,基于假设的稳定聚类的暗物质扰动描述为一个无碰撞的流体。我们实现了与传统Halo模型计算相当的结果,但使用了更简单的程序和更通用的方法,因为它只依赖于一个直接可测量的量。此外,我们讨论了我们的计算扩展到包括重子效应的流体动力学宇宙学模拟和其他可能的来源的不确定性,反过来又会影响间接的暗物质信号。本文还导出了超新星透镜放大率积分功率谱的上限,并与理论预期值进行了比较。

英文摘要:

We re-evaluate the extragalactic gamma-ray flux prediction from dark matter annihilation in the approach of integrating over the nonlinear matter power spectrum, extrapolated to the free-streaming scale. We provide an estimate of the uncertainty based entirely on available N-body simulation results and minimal theoretical assumptions. We illustrate how an improvement in the simulation resolution, exemplified by the comparison between the Millennium and Millennium II simulations, affects our estimate of the flux uncertainty and we provide a "best guess" value for the flux multiplier, based on the assumption of stable clustering for the dark matter perturbations described as a collision-less fluid. We achieve results comparable to traditional Halo Model calculations, but with a much simpler procedure and a more general approach, as it relies only on one, directly measurable quantity. In addition we discuss the extension of our calculation to include baryonic effects as modeled in hydrodynamical cosmological simulations and other possible sources of uncertainty that would in turn affect indirect dark matter signals. Upper limit on the integrated power spectrum from supernovae lensing magnification are also derived and compared with theoretical expectations.
