宇宙黑暗时代增强的小尺度结构

Enhanced Small-Scale Structure in the Cosmic Dark Ages

Derek Inman, Kazunori Kohri

AI总结:

本文研究小尺度功率谱增强的暗物质模型,发现非线性结构可在极高红移大量形成,暗物质湮灭增强,首批恒星形成晕提前,并探讨早期宇宙观测的约束。

摘要:

我们考虑了物质功率谱在小尺度上上升、最终因暗物质粒子性质的微观物理过程而被截断的后果。我们将弱相互作用大质量粒子的扰动从退耦之前演化到深度非线性区域,表明非线性结构可以在非常高的红移处大量形成。在这种情景下,暗物质湮灭在物质-辐射相等之后显著增强。此外,由于功率谱可以在广泛的尺度范围内增加,第一批恒星形成晕也可能比通常更早形成。下一个挑战是确定早期宇宙观测如何约束这种增强的暗物质扰动。

英文摘要:

We consider the consequences of a matter power spectrum which rises on small scales until eventually being cutoff by microphysical processes associated with the particle nature of dark matter. Evolving the perturbations of a weakly interacting massive particle from before decoupling until deep in the nonlinear regime, we show that nonlinear structure can form abundantly at very high redshifts. In such a scenario, dark matter annihilation is substantially increased after matter-radiation equality. Furthermore, since the power spectrum can be increased over a broad range of scales, the first star forming halos may form earlier than usual as well. The next challenge is determining how early Universe observations may constrain such enhanced dark matter perturbations.
