摘要
It was recently reported that there may exist monochromatic gamma-ray emission at similar to 130 GeV from the Galactic center in the Fermi Large Area Telescope data, which might be related with dark matter (DM) annihilation. In this work we carry out a comprehensive check of consistency of the results with the DM annihilation scenario, using the 3.7 yrs Fermi observation of the inner Galaxy, Galactic halo, clusters of galaxies and dwarf galaxies. The results found are as follows. 1) Very strong constraints on the DM annihilation into continuous similar to-rays from the Galactic center are set, which are as stringent as the "natural" scale assuming thermal freeze-out of DM. Such limit sets strong constraint on the DM models to explain the line emission. 2) No line emission from the Galactic halo is found in the Fermi data, and the constraints on line emission is marginally consistent with the DM annihilation interpretation of the similar to 130 GeV line emission from the inner Galaxy. 3) No line emission from galaxy clusters and dwarf galaxies is detected, although possible concentration of photons from clusters in 120-140GeV is revealed. The constraints from clusters and dwarf galaxies are weak and consistent with the DM annihilation scenario to explain the similar to 130 GeV line emission.
