AbstractMulti-wavelength emission maps from dark matter (DM) annihilation processes in galaxy clusters are produced using Marenostrum-MultiDark SImulation of galaxy Clusters (MUSIC-2) high resolution cosmological simulations. Comparison made with observational radio emission flux data (spectral shape) and the spatial distribution from the simulated emission maps show that secondary particles from DM annihilation could describe the origin of energetic particles which are the sources of the diffuse radio emission observed in large number of galaxy clusters. DM sub-halos which are dominantly composed of DM, but with very little or no gas and stellar content, are ideal objects to study the nature and properties of DM. Therefore, statistical studies of a large number of them as well the emission maps of high mass-to-light ratio DM sub-halos will not only explain the observed diffused radio emission but also provide very crucial information about the nature and properties of DM particles.

AbstractTaking secondary particles produced from dark matter (DM) annihilation process to the origin of the extended diffuse radio emission observed in galaxy clusters, we studied both their morphology and radio spectral profile using simulated Coma like galaxy clusters. We have considered a neutralino annihilation channel dominated by $b\overline b $ species with a branching ratio of 1 and neutralino mass of 35 GeV with annihilation cross-section of 1×10-26 cm3 s-1. The radio emission maps produced for the two simulated galaxy clusters which are based on the MUsic SImulation of galaxy Clusters (MUSIC) dataset reveal the observed radio halo morphology showing radio emission both from the central regions of the cluster and substructures lying out off cluster centre. The flux density curve is in a good agreement for ν ≤ 2 GHz with the obsevational values for the Coma cluster of galaxies showing a small deviation at higher frequencies.

We study the fluctuations in the brightness temperature of 21-cm signal [Formula: see text] at the dark ages ([Formula: see text]) with a dark matter (DM) candidate in Inert Doublet Model (IDM). We then explore the effects of different fractions of IDM DM on [Formula: see text] signal. The IDM DM masses are chosen in few tens of GeV region as well as in the high mass region beyond 500 GeV. It has been observed that the [Formula: see text] signal is more sensitive in the DM mass range of 70–80 GeV. A lower bound on annihilation cross-section for this DM is also obtained by analyzing the [Formula: see text] signal. This is found to lie within the range [Formula: see text] cm3/s for the IDM DM mass range 10 GeV[Formula: see text] GeV.
