A search for annihilating dark matter in 47 Tucanae and Omega Centauri

چکیده

A plausible formation scenario for the Galactic globular clusters 47 Tuc and Omega Cen is that they are tidally stripped remnants of dwarf galaxies, in which case likely to have retained a fraction their dark matter cores. In this study, we used ultra-wide band receiver on Parkes telescope (Murriyang) place upper limits annihilation rate exotic Light Dark Matter particles (X) via XX/$e^+e^-$ channel using measurements recombination positronium (Ps). This an extension technique previously search Ps Centre. However, by stacking spectral data at multiple line frequencies, been able improve sensitivity. Our resulted 3-sigma flux density (recombination rate) 1.7 mJy (1.4x10$^{43}$ s$^{-1}$) 0.8 (1.1x10$^{43}$ Cen, respectively.

On the Relative Distances of Ω Centauri and 47 Tucanae

We present precise optical and near-infrared ground-based photometry of two Globular Clusters (GCs): ω Cen and 47 Tuc. These photometric catalogs are unbiased in the Red Giant Branch (RGB) region close to the tip. We provide new estimates of the RGB tip (TRGB) magnitudes— mI(TRGB) = 9.84± 0.05, ω Cen; mI(TRGB) = 9.46± 0.06, 47 Tuc—and use these to determine the relative distances of the two GCs...

Lack of Planets in 47 Tucanae from an HST Search

We report results from a large Hubble Space Telescope project to observe a significant (∼34,000) ensemble of main sequence stars in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae with a goal of defining the frequency of inner-orbit, gas-giant planets. Simulations based on the characteristics of the 8.3 days of time-series data in the F555W and F814W WFPC2 filters show that ∼17 planets should be detected by ph...

A Stellar Audit: the Computation of Encounter Rates for 47 Tucanae and ! Centauri Received ** *** 1994; in Original Form 1994 *** **

Using King-Mitchie Models, we compute encounter rates between the various stellar species in the globular clusters ! Cen, and 47 Tuc. We also compute event rates for encounters between single stars and a population of primordial binaries. Using these rates, and what we have learnt from hydrodynamical simulations of encounters performed earlier, we compute the production rates of objects such as...

Lithium observations in 47 Tucanae

We present high resolution observations (FWHM=15 km s−1) of the Li region in 5 stars belonging to the old (≈14 Gyrs), metal rich ([Fe/H]≈-0.7) globular cluster 47 Tuc. At the ESO NTT telescope we obtained EMMI spectra for three V∼17.4 magnitude stars located at the turnoff with Teff on the Spite plateau. In two of the turnoff stars the lithium line is clearly detected and the mean lithium conte...

Search for Dark Matter

We know a lot about dark matter (DM). First of all we know it exists: modified gravity models cannot explain the spatial segregation between the regions where most of the mass is and where most of the visible matter is in the “bullet cluster” [1] (a cluster formed by two colliding galaxies). In this cluster, the regions where most of the gravitational potential is (as mapped though gravitationa...
