Extragalactic gamma-ray background radiation from dark matter annihilation
If dark matter is composed of neutralinos, one of the most exciting prospects for its detection lies in observations of the gamma-ray radiation created in pair annihilations between neutralinos, a process that may contribute significantly to the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGB) radiation. We here use the high-resolution MillenniumII simulation of cosmic structure formation to produce th...
متن کاملCan dark matter annihilation dominate the extragalactic gamma-ray background?
Annihilating dark matter (DM) has been discussed as a possible source of gamma rays from the galactic center and as a contribution to the extragalactic gamma-ray background. Assuming universality of the density profile of DM halos, we show that it is quite unlikely that DM annihilation is a main constituent of extragalactic gamma-ray background, without exceeding the observed gamma-ray flux fro...
متن کاملDark matter annihilation from intermediate-mass black holes: Contribution to the extragalactic gamma-ray background
We investigate contributions to the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGB) due to neutralino dark matter (DM) pair-annihilation into photons, from DM density enhancements (minispikes) surrounding intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs). We focus on two IMBH formation scenarios; our conservative scenario where IMBHs are remnants of Population-III stars, and our optimistic scenario here IMBHs are...
متن کاملCosmic gamma-ray background from dark matter annihilation
High-energy photons from pair annihilation of dark matter particles contribute to the cosmic gamma-ray background (CGB) observed in a wide energy range. The precise shape of the energy spectrum of CGB depends on the nature of dark matter particles. In order to discriminate between the signals from dark matter annihilation and other astrophysical sources, however, the information from the energy...
متن کاملCosmic Gamma-Ray Background Anisotropies and Dark Matter Annihilation
The extragalactic cosmic gamma-ray background (CGB) is expected to provide indirect signatures of the presence of Dark Matter (DM) through gamma-rays produced in DM annihilations. In particular, DM can leave its imprint not only in the CGB energy spectrum but also in the peculiar pattern and intensity of the CGB anisotropies. These are expected to differ significantly with respect to the case o...
