Search for dark matter annihilation in the Milky Way halo

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2018
The Milky Way halo is the brightest source of dark matter annihilation on the sky. Indeed, the potential strength of the Galactic dark matter signal can supersede that expected from dwarf galaxies and galaxy groups even in regions away from the Inner Galaxy.

The Dark Matter halo of the Milky Way, AD 2013 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2013
We derive the mass model of the Milky Way (MW) using a cored dark matter (DM) halo profile and recent data. The method used consists in fitting a spherically symmetric model of the Galaxy with a Burkert DM halo profile to available data: MW terminal velocities in the region inside the solar circle, circular velocity as recently estimated from maser ...

How Lumpy Is the Milky Way’s Dark Matter Halo? [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2002
CDM simulations predict that there are hundreds of lumps of with masses greater than 10e7 solar masses in the Milky Way halo. However, we know of only a dozen dwarf satellites close to this mass. Are these lumps simply lacking in stars or is there a fundamental flaw in our most popular cosmology?

Dark matter halo cores and the tidal survival of Milky Way satellites

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022
ABSTRACT The cuspy central density profiles of cold dark matter (CDM) haloes make them highly resilient to disruption by tides. Self-interactions between dark matter particles, or the cycling of baryons, may result in the formation of a constant-density core that would make haloes more susceptible to tidal disruption.

Analysis methods for Milky Way dark matter halo detection [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2007
We present methods for the analysis of dark matter annihilation in the smooth halo of the Milky Way galaxy. We model the diffuse gamma-ray background using GALPROP, and model the halo using an NFW profile and the gamma-ray spectrum for WIMP pair annihilation.

The impact of inelastic self-interacting dark matter on the dark matter structure of a Milky Way halo [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
Abstract We study the effects of inelastic dark matter self-interactions on the internal structure of a simulated Milky Way (MW)-size halo. Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) is an alternative to collisionless cold dark matter (CDM) which offers a unique solution to the problems encountered with CDM on sub-galactic scales.

Streams and the Milky Way dark matter halo

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2019
AbstractWe describe an algorithm that can fit the properties of the dwarf galaxy progenitor of a tidal stream, given the properties of that stream. We show that under ideal conditions (the Milky Way potential, the orbit of the dwarf galaxy progenitor, and the functional form of the dwarf galaxy progenitor are known exactly), the density and angular ...

THE SPACE MOTION OF LEO I: THE MASS OF THE MILKY WAY'S DARK MATTER HALO [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2013
We combine our Hubble Space Telescope measurement of the proper motion of the Leo I dwarf spheroidal galaxy (presented in a companion paper) with the highest resolution numerical simulations of Galaxy-size dark matter halos in existence to constrain the mass of the Milky Way's dark matter halo (M_MW).
