Title: Unidentified gamma-ray sources as targets for indirect dark matter detection with the Fermi -Large Area Telescope

Abstract

We report that one of the predictions of the ΛCDM cosmological framework is the hierarchical formation of structure, giving rise to dark matter (DM) halos and subhalos. When the latter are massive enough they retain gas (i.e., baryons) and become visible. This is the case of the dwarf satellite galaxies in the Milky Way (MW) . Below a certain mass, halos may not accumulate significant amounts of baryons and remain completely dark. However, if DM particles are Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), we expect them to annihilate in subhalos, producing gamma rays which can be detected with the Fermi satellite. Using the three most recent point-source Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) catalogs (3FGL, 2FHL and 3FHL), we search for DM subhalo candidates among the unidentified sources, i.e., sources with no firm association to a known astrophysical object. We apply several selection criteria based on the expected properties of the DM-induced emission from subhalos, which allow us to significantly reduce the list of potential candidates. Then, by characterizing the minimum detection flux of the instrument and comparing our sample to predictions from the Via Lactea II (VL-II) N-body cosmological simulation, we place conservative and robust constraints on the $$\langle$$σ v$$\rangle$$-mDM parameter space. For annihilation via the τ+τ- channel, we put an upper limit of 4 × 10-26 (5 × 10-25) cm3s-1 for a mass of 10 (100) GeV . A critical improvement over previous treatments is the repopulation we made to include low-mass subhalos below the VL\nobreakdash-II mass resolution. Finally, with more advanced subhalo candidate filtering the sensitivity reach of our method can potentially improve these constraints by a factor 3 (2) for τ+τ- (b$$\bar{b}$$) channel.

Figure 1 Figure 1: Upper panel: DM annihilation spectra with overlaid eq. 2.4 parametric fit and interpolation for $t\bar{t}$ (left panel) and $b\bar{b}$ (right panel) for various DM masses. The points from [44] are marked by crosses, while the fit is plotted as solid lines. Note that in the case of $t\bar{t}$more » the plotted masses are larger because mt = 172 GeV. Lower panel: Integrated DM annihilation spectra (Nγ) for 2FHL setup (left) and 3FHL (right), for $b\bar{b}$. Both setups differ in the threshold energy. Note that Nγ = 0 if E < 50 GeV (E < 10 GeV) in the case of the 2FHL (3FHL) setup, where E = Eth. Blue crosses are the values of the integral, and orange line is the interpolation between the values of the integral, which is used to compute the DM constraints as described in § 5.« less
