Resolving Dark Matter Subhalos With Future Sub-GeV Gamma-Ray Telescopes

Journal Article Chou, Ti-Lin ; Tanoglidis, Dimitrios ; Hooper, Dan - Phys.Dark Univ.

Annihilating dark matter particles in nearby subhalos could generate potentially observable fluxes of gamma rays, unaccompanied by emission at other wavelengths. Furthermore, this gamma-ray emission is expected to be spatially extended, providing us with a powerful way to discriminate dark matter subhalos from other astrophysical gamma-ray sources. Fermi has detected two dark matter subhalo candidates which exhibit a statistically significant degree of spatial extension (3FGL J2212.5+0703 and 3FGL J1924.8-1034). It has been argued that the most likely non-dark matter interpretation of these observations is that they are each in fact multiple nearby point sources, too close to one another onmore »« less

Stringent constraints on the dark matter annihilation cross section from subhalo searches with the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope

Journal Article Berlin, Asher ; Hooper, Dan - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

The dark matter halo of the Milky Way is predicted to contain a very large number of smaller subhalos. As a result of the dark matter annihilations taking place within such objects, the most nearby and massive subhalos could appear as point-like or spatially extended gamma-ray sources, without observable counterparts at other wavelengths. In this paper, we use the results of the Aquarius simulation to predict the distribution of nearby subhalos, and compare this to the characteristics of the unidentified gamma-ray sources observed by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. Focusing on the brightest high latitude sources, we use this comparisonmore »« less

Sub-GeV Dark Matter Shining at Future MeV $γ$ -Ray Telescopes

Journal Article D’Eramo, Francesco ; Profumo, Stefano - Physical Review Letters

We propose a novel framework where light (sub-GeV) dark matter (DM) is detectable with future MeV γ -ray telescopes without conflicting with cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. The stable DM particle χ has a very low thermal relic abundance due to its large pair-annihilation cross section. The DM number density is stored in a slightly heavier, metastable partner ψ with suppressed pair-annihilation rates, that does not perturb the CMB, and whose late-time decays ψ → χ fill the Universe with χ DM particles. We provide explicit, model-independent realizations for this framework, and discuss constraints on late-time decays, and thus onmore »« less

Gamma rays from dark matter subhalos revisited: Refining the predictions and constraints

Journal Article Hooper, Dan ; Witte, Samuel J. - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Utilizing data from the ELVIS and Via Lactea-II simulations, we characterize the local dark matter subhalo population, and use this information to refine the predictions for the gamma-ray fluxes arising from annihilating dark matter in this class of objects. We find that the shapes of nearby subhalos are significantly altered by tidal effects, and are generally not well described by NFW density profiles, instead prefering power-law profiles with an exponential cutoff. From the subhalo candidates detected by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, we place limits on the dark matter annihilation cross section that are only modestly weaker than those basedmore »« less
