Search for gamma-ray spectral lines with the Fermi Large Area Telescope and dark matter implications

Journal Article Ackermann, M. ; Ajello, M. ; Albert, A. ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are a theoretical class of particles that are excellent dark matter candidates. WIMP annihilation or decay may produce essentially monochromatic γ rays detectable by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) against the astrophysical γ -ray emission of the Galaxy. We have searched for spectral lines in the energy range 5–300 GeV using 3.7 years of data, reprocessed with updated instrument calibrations and an improved energy dispersion model compared to the previous Fermi-LAT Collaboration line searches. We searched in five regions selected to optimize sensitivity to different theoretically motivated dark matter density distributions. We did notmore »« less

DARK MATTER SEARCH USING CHANDRA OBSERVATIONS OF WILLMAN 1 AND A SPECTRAL FEATURE CONSISTENT WITH A DECAY LINE OF A 5 keV STERILE NEUTRINO

Journal Article Loewenstein, Michael ; Kusenko, Alexander - Astrophysical Journal

We report the results of a search for an emission line from radiatively decaying dark matter in the Chandra X-ray Observatory spectrum of the ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxy Willman 1. 99% confidence line flux upper limits over the 0.4-7 keV Chandra bandpass are derived and mapped to an allowed region in the sterile neutrino mass-mixing angle plane that is consistent with recent constraints from Suzaku X-ray Observatory and Chandra observations of the Ursa Minor and Draco dwarf spheroidals. A significant excess to the continuum, detected by fitting the particle-background-subtracted source spectrum, indicates the presence of a narrow emission feature withmore »« less

Structure formation in a mixed dark matter model with decaying sterile neutrino: the 3.5 keV X-ray line and the Galactic substructure

Journal Article Harada, Akira ; Kamada, Ayuki - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We perform a set of cosmological simulations of structure formation in a mixed dark matter (MDM) model. Our model is motivated by the recently identified 3.5 keV X-ray line, which can be explained by the decay of non-resonantly produced sterile neutrinos accounting for 20–60% of the dark matter in the Universe. These non-resonantly produced sterile neutrinos have a sizable free-streaming length and hence behave effectively as warm dark matter (WDM). Assuming the rest of dark matter is composed of some cold dark matter (CDM) particles, we follow the coevolution of a mixed WDM plus CDM cosmology. Specifically, we consider the modelsmore »« less

Hidden axion dark matter decaying through mixing with QCD axion and the 3.5 keV X-ray line

Journal Article Higaki, Tetsutaro ; Kitajima, Naoya ; Takahashi, Fuminobu - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Hidden axions may be coupled to the standard model particles through a kinetic or mass mixing with QCD axion. We study a scenario in which a hidden axion constitutes a part of or the whole of dark matter and decays into photons through the mixing, explaining the 3.5 keV X-ray line signal. Interestingly, the required long lifetime of the hidden axion dark matter can be realized for the QCD axion decay constant at an intermediate scale, if the mixing is sufficiently small. In such a two component dark matter scenario, the primordial density perturbations of the hidden axion can bemore »« less
