The density profile of Milky Way dark matter halo constrained from the OGLE microlensing sky map

We report the detection of a 282 $^{+34}_{-31}$ pc-sized core in the center of Milky Way dark matter halo at $68\%$ confidence level by using the micro-lensing event rate sky map data from the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) survey. We apply the spacial information of the microlensin...

Zusammenfassung:We report the detection of a 282 $^{+34}_{-31}$ pc-sized core in the center of Milky Way dark matter halo at $68\%$ confidence level by using the micro-lensing event rate sky map data from the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) survey. We apply the spacial information of the microlensing sky map and model it with the detailed Milky Way dark matter halo Core/Cusp profile, and the fraction of dark matter in the form of Mini Dark Matter Structure (MDMS, $f_{\rm MDMS}=\Omega_{\rm MDMS}/\Omega_{\rm DM}$), e.g. primordial black hole, earth-mass subhalos, floating planets and so on. We find that this sky map can constrain both $f_{\rm MDMS}$ and the core size simultaneously without strong degeneracy while fully considering mass function of Milky Way stellar components from both the bulge and disk.
