2 Global Dark Matter? A number of indirect supporting evidences Modify Gravity or Matter (galaxy rotation, cluster velocity dispersion, CMB, LSS) (or both) Modify Gravity: we look still for a healthy theory (I d say still mainly a theoretical activity) Dark Matter: still elusive (well, more than Higgs) (good to have many search channels) Hints (puzzles) from Direct and Indirect searches? (DAMA, Cogent, CDMS, CRESST, Fermi line(?)) Collisionless? (Bullet cluster) or Collisional? (A520 cluster) (mistery)

3 Global The DM densities All searches depend on the expected : In the Solar System Direct laboratory searches at Earth:... depend on the local at earth ρ 0 Indirect searches (mainly neutrino annihilation in Sun, Earth)... depend on accumulated DM which in turn is driven by ρ 0 In the Galaxy Looking for decay or annihilation... depend on ρ or ρ 2 along the l.o.s. Both the Local and Galactic are interesting...

4 Our galaxy Global Bulge/bar (10 10 M ) Stellar disk ( M ) Dark Matter halo ( M ) and subleading Thick disk (older stars up to z kpc) Stellar halo (globular clusters, old BHB, red, brown dwarfs, etc) (at least up to 80 kpc)

5 Global The DM Density profile

9 Global The Inner rotational velocities Rotating HI gas in the inner region Doppler gives relative speed along the l.o.s. Maximum at the tangential point, terminal velocities V T : V (r) = V T (r/r ) + V r/r Inside 1 2 kpc the bulge/bar structure prevents analysis. between 2 and 8 kpc a lot of measures along the arms, with systematic variations Vr kms r kpc

(maybe r dependent) We can integrate Jeans equation, for each model: {V model (r), β i } σ model i (r), and compare σ model i with data for that population. (Traditionally: derive pseudo-measures of V, w/ great uncertainties.)

Fig. 2 Similar to Fig. 1, but showing all sources currently measured (green), including unpublished sources, and all sources observed in the first year of BeSSeL (red), based on their kinematic distances. The BeSSeL Survey will first target 12.2 GHz methanol and 22 GHz water masers. Once the VLBA is equipped with new receivers that also cover the 6.7 GHz methanol maser line (presumably in 2012) these masers will be also observed. In early 2010, preparatory surveys started with the Very Large Array to obtain accurate positions of the target water masers, and with the VLBA to search for extragalactic background sources near the target maser sources (Immer et al. 2011). The first parallax observations started in March 2010, and first results are expected in mid 2011 (see Fig. 2). complementary efforts in the southern hemisphere with the Australian Long Baseline Array, this will result into a detailed and accurate map of the spiral structure of the Milky Way. The superior sensitivity and the large field-of-view of the Square Kilometer Array, which will also cover the 6.7 GHz methanol maser line, will reach even higher astrometric accuracies for methanol masers, radio continuum stars, and pulsars. This will result in a very detailed map of the the spiral stucture in the southern hemisphere.

17 Fitting (work in progress) Global Model parameters, giving V circ (r) and integrated dispersion σ(r): Sun: R, V (related) Bulge: M B Disk: M D, R D DM Halo: ρ H, R H Anisotropy for each population of tracers β i (r) Fitted against data: V T (x i ), σ(r i ) and V maser (r i ). Not all parameters relevant. (i.e. R D and β r-dependence) Also, bulge and disk are preferred as light as possible, extremal: M B M, M D M. Also, anisotropy of tracers are in tension among two populations: even β i required to be somehow extremal. Most important are thus ρ H, R H which can be traded for V, R H.

22 Comparing Comparing the best (Burkert) fits with other galaxies Global MW fits well, despite the large uncertainties.

23 Global for global fit of galaxy DM profile Some degeneracy removed thanks to masers. Mild core-cusp discrimination, with preference for cored. The terminal velocities are responsible for the core preference. Unlike in external galaxies, MW uncertainties are still large: Can not rule out cuspy profile, but For NFW the c vir 20 is at odds with ΛCDM simulations. (Adiabatic contraction could raise c vir in simulations but would make them even more cusped) The high V 250km/s is responsible for the large c vir. A preference for more radial velocity dispersion in BHB halo tracers, with respect to DR6 ones. Total mass of the galaxy is large for EIN and NFW, ok for BUR. What about DM annihilation?

24 The DM annihilation angular profile At 90% CL: Global Ρ EIN NFW BUR Ψ... hard to discriminate, need to mess with the Center.

25 Global The DM Density at the sun s location

26 Global The Local Curiously no dedicated estimate before (only very old guesses using outdated data, DM profile) Main estimates using a global profile modeling, which is very uncertain, or cosmological simulations (even more uncertain) In 2009 Catena Ullio, by global modeling, claim ρ = ± 0.02 GeV/cm 3 [Catena+ 10] Criticised by [Weber+ 10] and others, still global modeling. More recently ESO survey of z-motions claim no DM!? ρ = 0 ± 0.05, GeV/cm 3 [Moni-Bidin+ 12] Criticized first by [Tremaine+ 12], on the velocity assumptions. Other criticisms may be advanced. Our work to assess the uncertainties finds ρ = 0.43 ± 0.1 ± 0.1, GeV/cm 3 [Salucci, FN+ 10] still the most accurate, and halo model independent.

27 Global A new method for the Local Decompose radial acceleration as due to Bulge + Disk + DM Halo V 2 /r = a B + a D + a H, Use Gauss law for the DM Halo: ρ H r 2 r (r 2 a H ) ρ H (r) = = 1 1 4πG r 2 1 V 2 4πG r 2 d dr [ ( V r 2 2 (r) r [( d ln V d ln r )] a D (r) a B (r) X q, ) V D 2 ( ) ] r V 2 f X z0 X q. R D with f a known analytic function, for thin disk. Notes: At R the contribution of Bulge is negligible X q corrects spherical Gauss law, for oblateness. X z ± 0.01 corrects for nonzero disk thickness.

28 The Local, cont d Global ρ = g cm 3 ( ) 2 ] ω X q [(1 + 2α ) β f (r D ) X z0, km/s kpc Result depends on ω (V /R ), angular speed, (very well known) α d ln V /d ln r, RC slope (uncertain) β (V D /V ) 2 (constrained) ρ D R /R D. (constrained)

A broad conservative range is 0.65 < β < 0.77

38 Global Dark Matter in our Galaxy: Galaxy profile intrinsecally uncertain, observations hard. Still, it appears consistent with similar galaxies. Preference for cored profile, down to 2 kpc. At odds with ΛCDM simulations. Hard to discriminate profiles, need to look inside 1 kpc. Dark matter near the sun: ρ = 0.4 ± 0.2 is still the proper estimate. Uncertainties can not be reduced, at present. r D /R, and the RC slope α are driving the uncertainty,
