摘要: The gamma-ray observation of dwarf spheroidal satellites (dSphs) is an ideal approach for probing the dark matter (DM) annihilation signature. The latest Fermi-LAT dSph searches have set stringent constraints on the velocity independent annihilation cross section in the small DM mass range, which gives very strong constraints on the scenario to explain the the AMS-02 positron excess by DM annihilation. However, the dSph constraints would change in the velocity dependent annihilation scenarios, because the velocity dispersion in the dSphs varies from that in the Milky Way. In this work, we use a likelihood map method to set constraints on the velocity dependent annihilation cross section from the Fermi-LAT observation of six dSphs. We consider three typical forms of the annihilation cross section, i.e. p-wave annihilation, Sommerfeld enhancement, and Breit-Wigner resonance. For the p-wave annihilation and Sommerfeld-enhancement, the dSph limits would become much weaker and stronger compared with those for the velocity independent annihilation, respectively. For the Breit-Wigner annihilation, the dSph limits would vary depending on the model parameters. We show that the scenario to explain the AMS-02 positron excess by DM annihilation is still viable in the velocity dependent cases

摘要: 研究了Fermi-LAT第4期目录中的射电星系(Radio galaxy,RDG)以及窄线型赛弗特星系1 (Narrow-line Seyfert 1,NLSY1)的射线流量分布特征及均方根-流量(RMS-Flux)的线性关系。基于这两类活动星系核的射线流量数据处理,用高斯函数和对数正态函数对其流量分布进行了拟合。通过K-S检验(Kolmogorov-Smirnov test)、S-W检验(Shapiro-Wilk test)及约化卡方(Reduced 2)发现,射电星系及窄线型赛弗特星系1的分布都更加符合对数正态分布而非高斯分布,这表明其光变可能具有非线性和乘法性质。此外,还分别对这两类源的两种不同分组的均方根-流量关系进行了线性拟合,发现了均方根-流量有极强的线性相关性且斜率都为正。

摘要: In the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), all singlet-dominated particles including one neutralino, one CP-odd Higgs boson and one CP-even Higgs boson can be simultaneously lighter than about 100 GeV. Consequently, dark matter (DM) in the NMSSM can annihilate into multiple final states to explain the galactic center gamma-ray excess (GCE). In this work we take into account the foreground and background uncertainties for the GCE and investigate these explanations. We carry out a sophisticated scan over the NMSSM parameter space by considering various experimental constraints such as the Higgs data, B-physics observables, DM relic density, LUX experiment and the dSphs constraints. Then for each surviving parameter point we perform a fit to the GCE spectrum by using the correlation matrix that incorporates both the statistical and systematic uncertainties of the measured excess. After examining the properties of the obtained GCE solutions, we conclude that the GCE can be well explained by the pure annihilations and with A (1) being the lighter singlet- dominated CP-odd Higgs boson and H (i) denoting the singlet-dominated CP-even Higgs boson or SM-like Higgs boson, and it can also be explained by the mixed annihilation , A (1) H (1). Among these annihilation channels, can provide the best interpretation with the corresponding p-value reaching 0.55. We also discuss to what extent the future DM direct detection experiments can explore the GCE solutions and conclude that the XENON-1T experiment is very promising in testing nearly all the solutions.
