Line and Continuum Emission from the Galactic Center. III. Origin of 6.4 keV Line Emission from Molecular Clouds in the Galactic Center
We analyze the 6.4 keV line and continuum emission from the molecular cloud Sgr B2 and the source HESS J1745-303, which is supposed to be a complex of molecular gas. From the HESS results it follows that Sgr A is a source of high energy protons, which penetrate into molecular clouds producing there a TeV gamma-ray flux. We present arguments that Sgr A may also produce a flux of subrelativistic ...
متن کاملThe galactic 511 keV line from electroweak scale WIMPs
We consider possible mechanisms via which electroweak scale WIMPs χ could provide the source of the INTEGRAL/SPI 511 keV photon flux from the galactic centre. We consider scenarios where the WIMP spectrum contains near-degeneracies, with MeV-scale splitting, and focus on three possible production mechanisms for galactic positrons: (i) collisional excitation of the WIMP to a nearby charged state...
متن کاملkeV line from millisecond pulsars in the Galactic center
Observations of a strong and extended positron-electron annihilation line emission in the Galactic center (GC) region by the SPI/INTEGRAL are challenging to the existing models of positron sources in the Galaxy. In this paper, we study the possibility that pulsar winds from a millisecond pulsar population in the GC produce the 511 keV line. Our preliminary estimations predict that the e annihil...
متن کاملGRBs and the 511 keV emission of the Galactic bulge
We consider the phenomenology of the 511 keV emission in the Galactic bulge, as recently observed by INTEGRAL, and propose a model is which the positrons are produced by gamma-ray bursts (GRB) associated with mini starbursts in the central molecular zone (CMZ). We show that the positrons can easily diffuse across the bulge on timescales of ∼ 10 7 yr, and that their injection rate by GRBs is com...
متن کاملA correlation between the SiO and the Fe 6 . 4 keV line emission from the Galactic center
One of the most interesting results of the X-ray observations with the ASCA satellite of the Galactic center (GC) is the spatial distribution and the intensity of the Fe line at 6.4 keV. Up to now the morphology and the intensity of this line have been a puzzle. In this letter we present a map of the GC in the J=1→0 line of SiO covering the same region than the ASCA observations. The SiO emissi...
