中文摘要 | Presuming weak collisional interactions to exchange the kinetic energy between dark matter and baryonic matter in a galaxy cluster, we re-examine the effectiveness of this process in several 'cooling flow' galaxy clusters using available X-ray observations and infer an upper limit on the heavy dark matter particle (DMP)-proton cross-section sigma(xp). With a relative collisional velocity V-dependent power-law form of sigma(xp) = sigma(0)(V/10(3) km s(-1))(a) where a <= 0, our inferred upper limit is sigma(0)/m(x) less than or similar to 2 x 10(-25) cm(2) GeV-1 with m(x) being the DMP mass. Based on a simple stability analysis of the thermal energy balance equation, we argue that the mechanism of DMP-baryon collisional interactions is unlikely to be a stable non-gravitational heating source of intracluster medium (ICM) in inner core regions of 'cooling flow' galaxy clusters. |
