Constraining annihilating dark matter mass by the radio continuum spectral data of NGC4214 galaxy

Abstract

Recent gamma-ray and radio observations provide stringent constraints for annihilating dark matter. The current $2\sigma$ lower limits of dark matter mass can be constrained to $\sim 100$ GeV for thermal relic annihilation cross section. In this article, we use the radio continuum spectral data of a nearby galaxy NGC4214 and differentiate the thermal contribution, dark matter annihilation contribution and cosmic-ray contribution. We can get more stringent constraints of dark matter mass and annihilation cross sections. The $5\sigma$ lower limits of thermal relic annihilating dark matter mass obtained are 300 GeV, 220 GeV, 220 GeV, 500 GeV and 600 GeV for $e^{+}{e}^{-}$, ${\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$, ${\tau }^{+}{\tau }^{-}$, $W^{+}{W}^{-}$ and $b\bar{b}$ channels respectively. These limits challenge the dark matter interpretation of the gamma-ray, positron and antiproton excess in our Milky Way.
