Direct detection of galactic halo dark matter.
The Milky Way galaxy contains a large, spherical component which is believed to harbor a substantial amount of unseen matter. Recent observations indirectly suggest that as much as half of this "dark matter" may be in the form of old, very cool white dwarfs, the remnants of an ancient population of stars as old as the galaxy itself. We conducted a survey to find faint, cool white dwarfs with la...
متن کاملGravitational Microlensing and Dark Matter in the Galactic Halo
Recent observations of microlensing events in the Large Magellanic Cloud suggest that a sizable fraction of the galactic halo is in the form of MACHOs (Massive Astrophysical Compact Halo Objects) with mass ∼ 0.1M⊙. We present the basics of microlensing and give an overview of the results obtained so far. We also describe a scenario in which dark clusters of MACHOs and cold molecular clouds (mai...
متن کاملDark Matter and Gamma Rays from the Galactic Halo
The nature of the dark matter in the halo of our Galaxy is still largely unknown. The microlensing events found so far towards the Large Magellanic Cloud suggest that at most about 20% of the halo dark matter is in the form of MACHOs (Massive Astrophysical Compact Halo Objects). The dark matter could also, at least partially, consist of cold molecular clouds (mainly H2). Another possibility is ...
متن کاملGalactic dark matter halo made of spin-zero bosons
Scalar Field Dark Matter models, in which the dark matter particle is a spin-0 boson, are becoming a serious alternative to the Cold Dark Matter paradigm. In the present work, we have constructed gravitational-bounded configurations made of massive spin zero bosons that can be used as models for galactic dark matter halos. These configurations are constructed in the context of Einstein’s Genera...
متن کاملGalactic halo models and particle dark-matter detection
Rates for detection of weakly interacting massive-particle ~WIMP! dark matter are usually carried out assuming the Milky Way halo is an isothermal sphere. However, it is possible that our halo is not precisely spherical; it may have some bulk rotation; and the radial profile may differ from that of an isothermal sphere. In this paper, we calculate detection rates in observationally consistent a...
