Properties of dark matterWhat have galaxy clusters taught us about dark matter?

Dark matter exists and is . . .

. . . gravitationally interacting: most of the matter in the Universeis dark (galaxy clusters, galactic rotation curves, gravitationallensing, CMB, . . . )

. . . cold: it was non-relativistic at the time of decoupling fromweak interactions – otherwise structure formation would haveproceeded ‘top-down’, in contrast to our hierarchical structureformation scenario (Ly-α forest, structure formation)

. . . non-baryonic: it does not interact electro-magnetically withordinary matter (CMB + structure formation)

. . . collisionless: it has a very weak self-interaction cross section(galaxy clusters, relic density)

→ dark matter is a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP), butwhat is it really (SUSY, extra dimensions, . . . )?

Zwicky: first evidence for dark matter

Zwicky (1933) applied the virial theorem to theComa cluster of galaxies:

Egrav + 2Ekin = 0

Ekin: energy based on galaxies motions,Egrav: estimated gravitational energy

Zwicky found about 400 times more estimatedmass than visually observable

“missing mass problem”: the gravity of the visible galaxies in thecluster would be far too small for such fast orbits:

→ there must be some non-visible form of matter that providesenough of the mass and gravity to hold the cluster together

Evidence for non-baryonic dark mattertemperature fluctuations the epoch of recombination (z ' 1100)have an amplitude δT/T ' 10−5

linear regime of structure formation: δ(z) ∝ 1/(1 + z)

if dark matter were baryonic, we would only have time to growfluctuations of size δ ' 10−2

since we observe galaxies with δ & 102, dark matter fluctuationsmust have started to grow before recombination which is onlypossible if dark matter does not interact electro-magneticallywith matter

1.) nearby pulsars:energetics convincing but smoothness of Fermi data was claimed tobe difficult to model (Harding & Ramaty 1987, Aharonian et al 1995, Malyshev et al. 2009)

2.) DM annihilations:excellent fit to data but enhancement of cross-section over standardvalue and muon decay channel necessary (Bergström et al. 2009)

The key questions

How can we test this scenario?

Which are the most promising objects to target?

What are the cosmological implications of such an effective darkmatter annihilation?

I will argue in favor of gamma-ray observations of galaxy clustersbeing able to scrutinize the DM interpretation ofFermi/HESS/PAMELA data and will end with a surprisingcosmological result.

Galaxy clusters vs. dwarf galaxiesWhy look for clusters in the γ-ray band?

1 The DM annihilation flux of the smooth halo component scalesas F ∼

∫dVρ2/D2 ∼ M/D2 assuming a universal density

scaling1: the smooth component of dwarfs and galaxy clustersare equally bright!

2 Substructure in dark matter halos is less concentrated comparedto the smooth halo component (dynamical friction, tidal heatingand disruption): the DM luminosity is dominated by substructureat the virial radius, IF present!→ these regions are tidally stripped in dwarf galaxies→ galaxy clusters are dynamically ‘young’ and their subhalopopulation can boost the DM luminosity by up to 200(Springel et al. 2008).

1A more refined argument that takes into account the different haloformation epochs breaking scale invariance yields the same result.

Conclusions on dark matter searches

Gamma-ray observations of galaxy clusters by Fermi will test theDM interpretation of the Fermi/HESS/PAMELA data in the nextyears.

If the DM interpretation is correct, then we either live in a warmdark matter Universe or there is a new dynamical effect duringnon-linear structure formation that wipes out the smalleststructures.

Gamma-ray observations might be the most sensitive probes ofthe smallest cosmological structures.

Results from the Perseus observation by MAGIC

assuming f ∝ p−α with α = 2.1, PCR ∝ Pth:ECR < 0.017Eth → most stringent constraint on CR pressure!

upper limits consistent with cosmological simulations:Fupper limits(100GeV ) = 3.5 Fsim (optimistic model)

simulation modeling of pressure constraint yields〈PCR〉/〈Pth〉 < 0.07 (0.14) for the core (entire cluster)

3 physical effects that resolve the apparent discrepancy:

concave curvature ‘hides’ CR pressure at GeV energiesgalactic ‘point sources’ bias γ-ray flux high and pressurelimits low (partly physical)relative CR pressure increases towards the outer parts(adiabatic compression and softer equation of state of CRs)

Conclusions on high-energy phenomena

In contrast to the thermal plasma, the non-equilibrium distributions ofCRs preserve the information about their injection and transportprocesses and provide thus a unique window of current and paststructure formation processes!

1 Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations are indispensable forunderstanding non-thermal processes in galaxy clusters→ illuminating the process of structure formation
