    Searches for dark matter self-annihilation signals from dwarf spheroidal galaxies and the Fornax galaxy cluster with imaging air Cherenkov telescopes Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades des Fachbereichs Physik der Universität Hamburg vorgelegt von Björn Helmut Bastian Opitz aus Warburg Hamburg 2014 Gutachter der Dissertation: Prof. Dr. Dieter Horns JProf. Dr. Christian Sander Gutachter der Disputation: Prof. Dr. Dieter Horns Prof. Dr. Jan Conrad Datum der Disputation: 17. Juni 2014 Vorsitzender des Prüfungsausschusses: Dr. Georg Steinbrück Vorsitzende des Promotionsausschusses: Prof. Dr. Daniela Pfannkuche Leiter des Fachbereichs Physik: Prof. Dr. Peter Hauschildt Dekan der MIN-Fakultät: Prof. Dr. Heinrich Graener Abstract Many astronomical observations indicate that dark matter pervades the universe and dominates the formation and dynamics of cosmic structures. Weakly inter- acting massive particles (WIMPs) with masses in the GeV to TeV range form a popular class of dark matter candidates. WIMP self-annihilation may lead to the production of γ-rays in the very high energy regime above 100 GeV, which is observable with imaging air Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs). For this thesis, observations of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph) and the For- nax galaxy cluster with the Cherenkov telescope systems H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS were used to search for γ-ray signals of dark matter annihilations. The work consists of two parts: First, a likelihood-based statistical technique was intro- duced to combine published results of dSph observations with the different IACTs. The technique also accounts for uncertainties on the “J factors”, which quantify the dark matter content of the dwarf galaxies. Secondly, H.E.S.S.

  • Highlights and Discoveries from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory1
    Highlights and Discoveries from the Chandra X-ray Observatory1 H Tananbaum1, M C Weisskopf2, W Tucker1, B Wilkes1 and P Edmonds1 1Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138. 2 NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center, ZP12, 320 Sparkman Drive, Huntsville, AL 35805. Abstract. Within 40 years of the detection of the first extrasolar X-ray source in 1962, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has achieved an increase in sensitivity of 10 orders of magnitude, comparable to the gain in going from naked-eye observations to the most powerful optical telescopes over the past 400 years. Chandra is unique in its capabilities for producing sub-arcsecond X-ray images with 100-200 eV energy resolution for energies in the range 0.08<E<10 keV, locating X-ray sources to high precision, detecting extremely faint sources, and obtaining high resolution spectra of selected cosmic phenomena. The extended Chandra mission provides a long observing baseline with stable and well-calibrated instruments, enabling temporal studies over time-scales from milliseconds to years. In this report we present a selection of highlights that illustrate how observations using Chandra, sometimes alone, but often in conjunction with other telescopes, have deepened, and in some instances revolutionized, our understanding of topics as diverse as protoplanetary nebulae; massive stars; supernova explosions; pulsar wind nebulae; the superfluid interior of neutron stars; accretion flows around black holes; the growth of supermassive black holes and their role in the regulation of star formation and growth of galaxies; impacts of collisions, mergers, and feedback on growth and evolution of groups and clusters of galaxies; and properties of dark matter and dark energy.

  • Dark Matter 1 22
    22. Dark matter 1 22. DARK MATTER Revised September 2011 by M. Drees (Bonn University) and G. Gerbier (Saclay, CEA). 22.1. Theory 22.1.1. Evidence for Dark Matter : The existence of Dark (i.e., non-luminous and non-absorbing) Matter (DM) is by now well established [1,2]. The earliest, and perhaps still most convincing, evidence for DM came from the observation that various luminous objects (stars, gas clouds, globular clusters, or entire galaxies) move faster than one would expect if they only felt the gravitational attraction of other visible objects. An important example is the measurement of galactic rotation curves. The rotational velocity v of an object on a stable Keplerian orbit with radius r around a galaxy scales like v(r) M(r)/r, where p M(r) is the mass inside the orbit. If r lies outside the visible part of the∝ galaxy and mass tracks light, one would expect v(r) 1/√r. Instead, in most galaxies one finds that v becomes approximately constant out∝ to the largest values of r where the rotation curve can be measured; in our own galaxy, v 240 km/s at the location of our solar system, with little change out to the largest observable≃ radius. This implies the existence of a dark halo, with mass density ρ(r) 1/r2, i.e., M(r) r; at some point ρ will have to fall off faster (in order to keep the∝ total mass of the galaxy∝ finite), but we do not know at what radius this will happen.

  • Constraining Galactic Structures of Mirror Dark Matter
    Constraining galactic structures of mirror dark matter Jean-Samuel Roux and James M. Cline McGill University, Department of Physics, 3600 University St., Montr´eal,QC H3A2T8 Canada The simplest model of mirror sector dark matter maintains exact mirror symmetry, but has a 0 baryon abundance Ωb0 = βΩb and a suppressed temperature T = xT in the mirror sector; hence it depends only on two parameters, β; x. For sufficiently small x, early cosmological observables may not constrain mirror baryons from constituting all of the dark matter despite their strong self-interactions, depending on the unknown details of structure formation in the hidden sector. Here we close this loophole by simulating mirror structure formation, mapping out the allowed regions of parameter space using cosmological and astronomical data. We find that the Milky Way 0 disk surface density and bulge mass constrain Ωb0 . 0:3Ωb at the highest T allowed by BBN and 0 0 CMB (T = 0:5T ), or Ωb0 . 0:8Ωb at lower values of T . We also briefly discuss the realization of the necessary temperature asymmetry between the SM and the mirror sector in our model with unbroken mirror symmetry. I. INTRODUCTION teractions between the two sectors (Higgs mixing h2h02 µν 0 and gauge kinetic mixing F Fµν ) are negligible, since these would cause x ! 1 if they were sufficiently strong. The idea of a mirror copy of the standard model is the earliest example of the now-popular paradigm of hidden dark sectors [1, 2]. The model has a number of appealing We adopt a methodology similar to ref.
