摘要:

我们利用拥有类LMC系统的银河系(MW)类似体的Auriga磁流体动力学模拟,研究了LMC对太阳系附近暗物质(DM)分布的影响。我们在模拟中提取了LMC绕MW轨道运行不同时期的局部DM速度分布。正如先前对MW-LMC系统的理想化模拟所发现的,我们发现太阳系附近源自LMC类似体的DM粒子主导了局部DM速度分布的高速尾。此外,由于对LMC运动的响应,太阳区域MW的原生DM粒子被加速至更高速度。我们考虑了DM与靶核或电子的相互作用,模拟了在不久的将来氙、锗和硅直接探测实验中预期的信号。我们发现LMC的存在导致预期的直接探测排除限向更小的截面和DM质量发生显著偏移,该效应对低质量DM更为突出。因此,我们的研究首次表明,即使在完全宇宙学的MW类似体中,LMC对局部DM分布的影响也是显著的。

英文摘要:

We study the effect of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) on the dark matter (DM) distribution in the Solar neighborhood, utilizing the Auriga magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way (MW) analogues that have an LMC-like system. We extract the local DM velocity distribution at different times during the orbit of the LMC around the MW in the simulations. As found in previous idealized simulations of the MW-LMC system, we find that the DM particles in the Solar neighborhood originating from the LMC analogue dominate the high speed tail of the local DM speed distribution. Furthermore, the native DM particles of the MW in the Solar region are boosted to higher speeds as a result of a response to the LMC's motion. We simulate the signals expected in near future xenon, germanium, and silicon direct detection experiments, considering DM interactions with target nuclei or electrons. We find that the presence of the LMC causes a considerable shift in the expected direct detection exclusion limits towards smaller cross sections and DM masses, with the effect being more prominent for low mass DM. Hence, our study shows, for the first time, that the LMC's influence on the local DM distribution is significant even in fully cosmological MW analogues.
