摘要
A massive black hole is present at the centre of our galaxy and inevitably accretes dark matter particles, creating a region of very high particle density. The annihilation rate is enhanced with a large number of e(+)e(-) pairs produced either directly or by sucessive decays of mesons. We evaluate the synchrotron emission (and self-absorption) associated with the propagation of these particles through the galactic magnetic field and give constraints on the values of mass and cross section of the dark matter particles.
