Outline ► Introduction ► Positron Sources ► Interstellar Mediums in our galaxy ► Discussion and Future Work

Introduction production positron rate ~ Positronium fraction ~ Line width ~ (Churazov et al., 2005) (Jean et al., 2006) Board line : Narrow line : (Jean et al., 2006) (J. Knodlseder et al., 2005)
4
Introduction ► The bulge emission is spherically symmetric and is centered on the galactic center with an extension of ∼ 5 0 -8 0 (FWHM) ► Total flux= (Jean et al., 2006)
5
Introduction ► Problems: The production of positrons The galactic map of the annihilation line The propagation of the positrons between their production sites and annihilation places
6
Introduction ► Most the propagation of cosmic rays is consider in the system of the diffusion model. ► Diffusion equation:

Positron Sources ► Positron productions processes (C. D. Dermer & R. J. Murphy, 2001)
9
Novae ► The dominant channels for positron production in Novae are: 13 N 13 C 18 F 18 O 22 Na 22 Ne 26 Al 26 Mg (γ:1.809 MeV)
10
Supernovae ► The dominant channels for positron production through hydrostatic and explosive nucleosynthesis are: 57 Ni 57 Co 57 Fe (γ:1.37 MeV;122,136keV) 56 Ni 56 Co 56 Fe (γ:150,750,812,847,1238 keV) keV) 44 Ti 44 Sc 44 Ca (γ:1.16 MeV;67.8,78.4 keV) keV) 26 Al 26 Mg (γ:1.809 MeV)
11
Supernovae Ia (K.-W Chan & R. E. Lingenfelter,1993)
12
Star-Capture by the Black Hole ► The capture of stars by Galactic black hole provides relativistic protons ► Collisions of these protons with surrounding gas result in relativistic positrons with energy E~30 MeV

14
Pulsars (X. Chi et al.,1996)
15
Light Dark Matter ► The dark matter particles with energy about 1-100 MeV annihilate into e + e - pairs in the galactic bulge. ► Dark matter halo profile is quite uncertain.
16
Interstellar Mediums ► The chemical composition of ISM : Hydrogen: 90.8% Helium: 9.1% Heavier elements: 0.12% (K. M. Ferriere, 2001)
17
Interstellar Mediums ► ISM model (McKee & Ostriker,1977) 2.4% cold phase, n=42 cm -3, T=80K 23% warm neutral phase, n=0.37 cm -3, T=8000K 23% warm ionized phase, n=0.25 cm -3,, T=8000K 52% hot phase, n=3.5*10 -3 cm -3, T= 4.5*10 5 K (N. Guessoum et al., 2005)
18
Interstellar Mediums ► Berezinkii et al. estimated the average value of the diffusion coefficient ~10 27 cm 2 s -1 (K.S. Cheng et al.,2006)
19
Discussion and Future Work ► Study more about the spectra of positron sources ► Calculate the evolution of positrons in the galactic center region by diffusion equation
