Sterile neutrino dark matter: the 3.5keV line and galaxy formation

Mark Lovell (GRAPPA, U of Amsterdam)

The non-detection to date of any supersymmetric particles at the LHC, coupled with the

large measured value of the Higgs boson, has increased interest in dark matter candidates

other than the LSP. One such particle is the keV sterile neutrino, which forms part of a

theory that may also explain the masses of known neutrinos and baryogenesis. Further

motivation for this hypothesis has come from multiple claimed detections of an X-ray line

at 3.5keV in the spectra of clusters of galaxies, M31 and the Galactic centre, which could

be produced the decay of sterile neutrino dark matter. In this talk I will discuss the

progress of work on the 3.5keV line by use of dark matter halo simulations, and also

discuss the consequences of sterile neutrino dark matter for galaxy

Multi-wavelength analysis of supernova remnant MSH11-61A

Katie Auchettl

(CfA Harvard)

Due to its centrally bright X-ray morphology and limb brightened radio profile,

Galactic supernova remnant MSH 11-61A (G290.1-0.8) is classified as mixed

morphology. HI and CO observations have determined that the SNR is interacting

with a molecular cloud found towards the north and southwest regions of the

remnant. As observations of thermal and non-thermal emission of SNRs have

provided increasing support in favour of cosmic rays being accelerated at its shock

front, SNRs known to be interacting with molecular clouds provide an effective

target for detecting and studying the production of gamma-rays from the decay

of a neutral pion into two gamma-ray photons. I report on the detection of

gamma-ray emission coincident with MSH 11-61A using 70 months of data from

the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.

To investigate the origin of this emission, we perform broadband modelling of its

non-thermal emission considering both leptonic and hadronic cases and concluding

that the gamma-ray emission is most likely hadronic in nature. Additionally we also

present our analysis of an archival Suzaku observation of this remnant.

Our investigation shows that the X-ray emission of MSH 11-61A arises from a two

temperature component plasma consisting of a hot, ejecta-rich plasma that is still

ionising and a cool, recombining ISM component.
