Dark matter spikes and annihilation radiation from the galactic center.
The annihilation rate of weakly interacting cold dark matter particles at the galactic center could be greatly enhanced by the growth of a density spike around the central supermassive black hole (SBH). Here we discuss the effects of hierarchical mergers on the central spike. Mergers between halos containing SBHs lead to the formation of SBH binaries which transfer energy to the dark matter par...
متن کاملTeV γ-radiation from Dark Matter annihilation in the Galactic center
Recent observations of the Galactic center with ground based gamma-ray instruments have revealed a TeV (1012 eV) gamma-ray signal consistent with the position of SgrA*. The origin of the recently established TeV gamma-ray signal is so far unclear. The derived luminosity of the signal above 1 TeV is a few 1034 erg s−1 which is slightly more than e.g. the gamma-ray luminosity of the Crab nebula a...
متن کاملX-ray Radiation from the Annihilation of Dark Matter at the Galactic Center
The existing and upcoming multiwavelength data from the Galactic Center suggest a comparative study in order to propose or rule out possible models which would explain the observations. In this paper we consider the X-ray synchrotron and the gamma-ray emission due to Kaluza Klein Dark Matter and define a set of parameters for the shape of the Dark Matter halo which is consistent with the observ...
متن کاملAnnihilation Radiation from a Dark Matter Spike at the Galactic Centre
We study annihilation radiation of neutralinos in the Galactic centre, assuming the existence of a ’spike’ in the dark matter density profile, due to adiabatic accretion onto the massive black hole lying at the Galactic centre. Under this assumption we find that it is possible to reproduce the observed SgrA* emission at radio and gamma-ray frequencies in a consistent scenario with a magnetic fi...
متن کاملEvidence for Dark Matter Annihilation from Galactic Gamma Rays?
The diffuse galactic EGRET gamma ray data show a clear excess for energies above 1 GeV in comparison with the expectations from conventional galactic models. The excess is seen with the same spectrum in all sky directions, as expected for Dark Matter (DM) annihilation. This hypothesis is investigated in detail. The energy spectrum of the excess is used to limit the WIMP mass to the 50-100 GeV r...
