Neutralino Dark Matter and Caustic Ring Signals
نویسنده
چکیده
We have studied the effects on the gamma-ray flux on Earth by neutralino annihilations in caustic rings of dark matter in the Galactic halo. The caustic ring model by Sikivie has been used where dark matter particles are assumed to possess angular momentum with respect to the Galactic centre. The computer code DarkSUSY was then used to examine the supersymmetric implications on the flux. We conclude that a small signal might be detectable under very optimistic assumptions, but under these only.

Caustic Rings of Dark Matter
It is shown that the infall of collisionless dark matter onto isolated galaxies produces a series of caustic rings in the halo dark matter distribution. The properties of these caustics are investigated. It is found in particular that the density profile of the caustic behaves as the inverse distance to the ring. Bumps in the rotation curve of NGC 3198 are interpreted as due to caustic rings of...

The recently discovered ring of stars near Galactocentric distance r = 20 kpc is interpreted as baryonic matter accreted onto the second caustic ring of dark matter in our galaxy. Caustic rings of dark matter were predicted in the Galactic plane at radii an ≃ 40 kpc/n where n = 1, 2, 3... They can reveal themselves by their gravitational influence on the distribution of baryonic matter. There i...
متن کاملClumpy Neutralino Dark Matter
We investigate the possibility to detect neutralino dark matter in a scenario in which the galactic dark halo is clumpy. We find that under customary assumptions on various astrophysical parameters, the antiproton and continuum γ-ray signals from neutralino annihilation in the halo put the strongest limits on the clumpiness of a neutralino halo. We argue that indirect detection through neutrino...
متن کاملEvidence for Ring Caustics in the Milky Way
The late infall of cold dark matter onto our galaxy produces streams and caustics in its halo. Sharp rises present in the rotation curve of the Milky Way are interpreted as due to the presence of caustic rings of dark matter in the galactic plane. Their locations are consistent at the 3% level with the predictions of the self-similar infall model for the ring radii. Also, a triangular feature i...
متن کاملNeutrino Indirect Detection of Neutralino Dark Matter in the CMSSM
We study potential signals of neutralino dark matter indirect detection by neutrino telescopes in a wide range of CMSSM parameters. We also compare with direct detection potential signals taking into account in both cases present and future experiment sensitivities. Only models with neutralino annihilation into gauge bosons can satisfy cosmological constraints and current neutrino indirect dete...
