Dark matter annihilation in $\omega$ Centauri: Astrophysical implications derived from the MWA radio data
We present an analysis of Murchison Widefield Array radio telescope data from $\omega$ Cen, possibly a stripped dwarf spheroidal galaxy core captured by our Galaxy. Recent interpretations of Fermi-LAT $\gamma$-ray data by Brown {\it et al.} (2019) and Reynoso-Cordova {\it et al.} (2019) suggest that $\omega$ Cen may contain significant Dark Matter. We utilise their best-fit Dark Matter annihilation models, and an estimate of the magnetic field strength in $\omega$ Cen, to calculate the expected radio synchrotron signal from annihilation, and show that one can usefully rule out significant parts of the magnetic field - diffusion coefficient plane using our current observational limits on the radio emission. Improvement by a factor of 10-100 on these limits could constrain the models even more tightly.
