分析M31星系的射电通量密度剖面:一种可能的暗物质解释

Analysing the radio flux density profile of the M31 galaxy: a possible dark matter interpretation

Man Ho Chan, Chu Fai Yeung, Lang Cui, Chun Sing Leung

摘要:

最近的一些研究检查了我们银河系的伽马射线通量分布,以确定暗物质湮灭的信号。然而,结果是有争议的,没有得到证实。在本文中,我们研究了M31星系的射电通量密度剖面,并表明它可能表现出暗物质湮灭的信号。通过比较观测到的射电通量密度廓线数据与预测的射电通量密度廓线中暗物质和恒星辐射贡献的似然性,我们可以约束相关的暗物质参数。具体而言,对于通过$b\bar{b}$通道的热湮灭截面,暗物质质量的最佳拟合值为$\sim 30$ GeV,这与最近许多研究的结果一致。我们希望这种方法能成为另一种有效的方法来约束暗物质,这是补充传统的射电分析和其他间接检测。

英文摘要:

Some recent studies have examined the gamma-ray flux profile of our Galaxy to determine the signal of dark matter annihilation. However, the results are controversial and no confirmation is obtained. In this article, we study the radio flux density profile of the M31 galaxy and show that it could manifest a possible signal of dark matter annihilation. By comparing the likelihoods between the archival observed radio flux density profile data and the predicted radio flux density profile contributed by dark matter and stellar emission, we can constrain the relevant dark matter parameters. Specifically, for the thermal annihilation cross section via the $b\bar{b}$ channel, the best-fit value of dark matter mass is $\sim 30$ GeV, which is consistent with the results of many recent studies. We expect that this method would become another useful way to constrain dark matter, which is complementary to the traditional radio analyses and the other indirect detections.
