Dark Matter Substructure and Gamma‐Ray Annihilation in the Milky Way Halo
Open accessAbstract
We present initial results from "Via Lactea," the highest resolution simulation to date of Galactic CDM substructure. It follows the formation of a Milky Way-sized halo with M halo = 1.8 × 10 12 M ☉ in a WMAP three-year cosmology, using 234 million particles. Over 10,000 subhalos can be identified at z = 0: their cumulative mass function is well-fit by N (> M sub ) = 0.0064 ( M sub / M halo ) -1 down to M sub = 4 × 10 6 M ☉ . The total mass fraction in subhalos is 5.3%, while the fraction of surface mass density in substructure within a projected distance of 10 kpc from the halo center is 0.3%. Because of the significant contribution from the smallest resolved subhalos, these fractions have not converged yet. Sub-substructure is apparent in all the larger satellites, and a few dark matter lumps are resolved even in the solar vicinity. The number of dark satellites with peak circular velocities above 10 km s -1 (5 km s -1 ) is 124 (812): of these, five (26) are found within 0.1 r vir , a region that appeared practically smooth in previous simulations. The neutralino self-annihilation γ-ray emission from dark matter clumps is approximately constant per subhalo mass decade. Therefore, while in our run the contribution of substructure to the γ-ray luminosity of the Galactic halo amounts to only 40% of the total spherically averaged smooth signal, we expect this fraction to grow significantly as resolution is increased further. An all-sky map of the expected annihilation γ-ray flux reaching a fiducial observer at 8 kpc from the Galactic center shows that at the current resolution a small number of subhalos start to be bright enough to be visible against the background from the smooth density field surrounding the observer.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
