Ullio","doi":"10.1080/21672857.2013.11519721","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/21672857.2013.11519721","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Recently a series of indicati ons have been put forward suggesting the presence of two γ-ray lines at 110-130 GeV (centered at 111 and 129 GeV). Signals of these lines have been observed toward the Galactic center, at some galaxy clusters and among some of the unassociated point sources of the 2 years Fermi catalogue. Such a combination of signals could be generated by dark matter annihilations in the main dark matter halo, its substructures and nearby galaxy clusters. We discuss in this work the consistency between the number of events observed at the line energies in the sky and the predictions using results from the Via Lactea II nu numerical simulation and extrapolations below its mass resolution, taking into account that the annihilation cross-section to the lines can be estimated from the Galactic center signal. We find that some extrapolations to small substructures can naturally account for the point sources signal, although the hypothesis of background only cannot be rejected. We also study the morphology of the γ-ray sky at the 2 lines energies, testing different Galactic diffuse background models to account for interstellar medium uncertainties and different assumptions on the OM diffuse component profile. We find from template fits that within reasonable diffuse background uncertainties the presence of a spherical halo component is preferred with cuspier dark matter halo profiles being preferable even from the full sky fit. We finally check the impact of a dark disk component suggested by cosmological simulations that include baryons and find that thin dark disks can not be disfavored, thus possibly accounting for the preferentially closer to the Galactic disk distribution of the point sources lines signal.","PeriodicalId":204186,"journal":{"name":"Astronomical Review","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121944543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence from 77 GRBs with measured redshifts detected by the Swift experiment (and also from prior missions) suggests that these relations may have more to do with detection properties than physics. However, in the Fermi era, there has been strong use and continued interest in the GRB high energy correlations. Here I update the Swift study using the three times larger current Swift sample. I discuss the extent to which these relations appear to be intrinsic and the promise and limitations for using the relations to study the GRB intrinsic physics and, in particular, whether a common G RB energetics can be assumed in order to use the relations for cosmography. Even if GRBs do imprint information in these relations, separating out sample trends (ie., tendencies of the overall population) to tease out information applicable to one particular GRB (for example to infer its intrinsic flux for use in a Hubble diagram) may be very challenging.","PeriodicalId":204186,"journal":{"name":"Astronomical Review","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125999896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aided by the organizing power of the 4D eigenvector 1 scheme, we review basic developments since the 1980s, devoting special attention to the CaII IR triplet and the OI 8446 emission lines. Coverage of these lines is cumbersome since they are shifted in an inconvenient IR domain already at modest redshifts ( ≈ 0.2). Their detection is also difficult since they are faint and often buried in the CaII absorption of the host galaxy.

The compilation of the two subsamples is a necessary step both for cosmological studies- oriented towards spherical and virialized systems- and for astrophysical investigations - focused on phenomena typically present in highly disturbed galaxy clusters such as turbulence, particle re-acceleration, magneto-astrophysics. In this paper, we review several morphological parameters: asymmetry and fluctuation of the X-ray surface brightness, hardness ratios, X-ray surface-brightness concentration, centroid shift, and third-order power ratio. We test them against 60 Chandra-like images obtained from hydrodynamical simulations through the X-ray Map Simulator and visually classified as regular and disturbed. The best performances are registered when the parameters are computed using the largest possible region (either within R500 or 1000 kpc). The best indicators are the third-order power ratio, the asymmetry parameter, and the X-ray-surface-brightness concentration. All their combinations offer an efficient way to distinguish between the two morphological classes achieving values of purity extremely close to 1. A new parameter, M, is defined. It combines the strengths of the aforementioned indicators and, therefore, resulted to be the most effective parameter analyzed.","PeriodicalId":204186,"journal":{"name":"Astronomical Review","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121965099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
