The velocity-dependent J-factor of the Milky Way halo: does what happens in the galactic bulge stay in the galactic bulge?

The velocity-dependent J-factor of the Milky Way halo: does what happens in the galactic bulge stay in the galactic bulge?

Abstract We consider the angular distribution of the photon signal which could arise from velocity-dependent dark matter annihilation within the Galactic bulge. We find that, for the case of Sommerfeld-enhanced annihilation, dark matter annihilation within the bulge is dominated by slow speed particles which never leave the bulge, allowing one …
