Implications of a 130 GeV Gamma-Ray Line for Dark Matter

Journal Article Buckley, Matthew R ; /Fermilab ; Hooper, Dan ; ... - Physical Review. D, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Recent reports of a gamma-ray line feature at -130 GeV in data from the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope have generated a great deal of interest in models in which dark matter particles annihilate with a sizable cross section to final states including photons. In this paper, we take a model-independent approach and discuss a number of possibilities for dark matter candidates which could potentially generate such a feature. While we identify several scenarios which could lead to such a gamma-ray line, these models are each fairly constrained. In particular, viable models require large couplings (g{>=}1-3) and additional charged particles withmore »« less

Constraints on the dark matter annihilation scenario of Fermi 130 GeV gamma-ray line emission by continuous gamma-rays, Milky Way halo, galaxy clusters and dwarf galaxies observations

Journal Article Huang, Xiaoyuan ; Chen, Xuelei ; Yuan, Qiang ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

It was recently reported that there may exist monochromatic γ-ray emission at ∼ 130 GeV from the Galactic center in the Fermi Large Area Telescope data, which might be related with dark matter (DM) annihilation. In this work we carry out a comprehensive check of consistency of the results with the DM annihilation scenario, using the 3.7 yrs Fermi observation of the inner Galaxy, Galactic halo, clusters of galaxies and dwarf galaxies. The results found are as follows. 1) Very strong constraints on the DM annihilation into continuous γ-rays from the Galactic center are set, which are as stringent asmore »« less

CONSTRAINING THE DISTRIBUTION OF DARK MATTER IN THE INNER GALAXY WITH AN INDIRECT DETECTION SIGNAL: THE CASE OF A TENTATIVE 130 GeV {gamma}-RAY LINE

Journal Article Ruizhi, Yang ; Lei, Feng ; Xiang, Li ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

Dark matter distribution in the very inner region of our Galaxy is still debated. In N-body simulations, a cuspy dark matter halo density profile is favored. Several dissipative baryonic processes, however, are found to be able to significantly flatten dark matter distribution, and a cored dark matter halo density profile is possible. Baryons dominate the gravitational potential in the inner Galaxy, hence a direct constraint on the abundance of dark matter particles is rather challenging. Recently, a few groups have identified a tentative 130 GeV line signal in the Galactic center, which could be interpreted as the signal of darkmore »« less

Two component dark matter: a possible explanation of 130 GeV γ-ray line from the galactic centre

Journal Article Biswas, Anirban ; Majumdar, Debasish ; Bhattacharjee, Pijushpani ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Recently there has been a hint of a gamma-ray line at 130 GeV originated from the galactic centre after the analysis of the Fermi-LAT satellite data. Being monochromatic in nature, it rules out the possibility of having its astrophysical origin and there has been a speculation that this line could be originated from dark matter annihilation. In this work, we propose a two component dark matter scenario where an extension of the Standard Model by an inert Higgs doublet and a gauge singlet scalar concocted with Z{sub 2} × Z'{sub 2} symmetry, is considered. We find that our scenario canmore »« less

Fermi 130 GeV gamma-ray excess and dark matter annihilation in sub-haloes and in the Galactic centre

Journal Article Tempel, Elmo ; Hektor, Andi ; Raidal, Martti - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We analyze publicly available Fermi-LAT high-energy gamma-ray data and confirm the existence of clear spectral feature peaked at E{sub γ} = 130 GeV. Scanning over the Galaxy we identify several disconnected regions where the observed excess originates from. Our best optimized fit is obtained for the central region of Galaxy with a clear peak at 130 GeV with local statistical significance 4.5σ. The observed excess is not correlated with Fermi bubbles. We compute the photon spectra induced by dark matter annihilations into two and four standard model particles, the latter via two light intermediate states, and fit the spectra withmore »« less
