NMSSM interpretation of the Galactic Center excess
We explore models for the GeV Galactic Center excess (GCE) observed by the Fermi Telescope, focusing on χχ → ff̄ annihilation processes in the Z3 next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM). We begin by examining the requirements for a simplified model [parametrized by the couplings and masses of dark matter (DM) and mediator particles] to reproduce the GCE via χχ → ff̄, while simultane...
متن کاملDark matter with pseudoscalar-mediated interactions explains the DAMA signal and the galactic center excess.
We study a Dirac dark matter particle interacting with ordinary matter via the exchange of a light pseudoscalar, and analyze its impact on both direct and indirect detection experiments. We show that this candidate can accommodate the long-standing DAMA modulated signal and yet be compatible with all exclusion limits at 99(S)% C.L. This result holds for natural choices of the pseudoscalar-quark...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Excess from the Galactic Center and Supergravity Models
We analyse the effect of the compression of the dark matter due to the infall of baryons to the galactic center on the gamma-ray flux. In addition, we also consider the effect of non-universal supersymmetric soft terms. This analysis shows that neutralino dark matter annihilation can give rise to signals largely reachable by future experiments like GLAST. This is a remarkable result if we reali...

متن کاملA DEEP Chandra CATALOG OF X-RAY POINT SOURCES TOWARD THE GALACTIC CENTER
We present a catalog of 2357 point sources detected during 590 ks of Chandra observations of the 17-by-17 arcminute field around Sgr A. This field encompasses a physical area of 40 by 40 pc at a distance of 8 kpc. The completeness limit of the sample at the Galactic center is 10 erg s (2.0–8.0 keV), while the detection limit is an order of magnitude lower. The 281 sources detected below 1.5 keV...
