Gamma-ray and radio tests of the e± excess from DM annihilations
نویسندگان
چکیده
PAMELA and ATIC recently reported an excess in e± cosmic rays. We show that if it is due to Dark Matter annihilations, the associated gamma-ray flux and the synchrotron emission produced by e± in the galactic magnetic field violate HESS and radio observations of the galactic center and HESS observations of dwarf Spheroidals, unless the DM density profile is significantly less steep than the benchmark NFW and Einasto profiles.

Multi-frequency analysis of neutralino dark matter annihilations in the Coma cluster
We study the astrophysical implications of neutralino dark matter annihilations in galaxy clusters, with a specific application to the Coma cluster. We first address the determination of the dark halo models for Coma, starting from structure formation models and observational data, and we discuss in detail the role of sub-halos. We then perform a thorough analysis of the transport and diffusion...
متن کاملDark Matter Annihilation Signals: The Importance of Radiative Corrections
Being able to safely distinguish astrophysical from potential dark matter (DM) annihilation signals is of utmost importance for indirect DM searches. To this end, one has to rely on distinctive – and unique – spectral signatures to look for. Internal bremsstrahlung (IB), unavoidable in the presence of charged annihilation products, provides such a signature. In fact, as it generically dominates...
متن کاملInverse Compton constraints on the Dark Matter e ± excesses
Recent results from experiments like PAMELA have pointed to excesses of e± in cosmic rays. If interpreted in terms of Dark Matter annihilations, they imply the existence of an abundant population of e± in the galactic halo at large. We consider the high energy gamma ray fluxes produced by Inverse Compton scattering of interstellar photons on such e±, and compare them with the available data fro...
متن کاملPossible Indications of a Clumpy Dark Matter Halo
We investigate if the gamma ray halo, for which recent evidence has been found in EGRET data, can be explained by neutralino annihilations in a clumpy halo. We find that the measured excess gamma ray flux can be explained through a moderate amount of clumping in the halo. Moreover, the required amount of clumping implies also a measureable excess of antiprotons at low energies, for which there ...
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...
