Description
DArk Matter SPIkes (DAMSPI) is a fully Python-based software for the analysis of dark matter spikes around Intermediate Mass Black Holes (IMBHs) in the Milky Way. It allows to extract an IMBH catalogue and their corresponding dark matter spike parameters from the EAGLE simulations in order to probe a potential gamma-ray signal from dark matter self-annihilation. The dataset contains the IMBH catalogue including, among others, the coordinates, mass, formation redshift and spike parameters for each individual IMBH. Each column of the catalogue is described in detail in J. Aschersleben et al. (2024). We also provide separate files for which we calculated the gamma-ray fluxes for different dark matter masses and annihilation cross sections. Lastly, we provide a catalogue of our selection of Milky Way like galaxies within EAGLE. The columns of these files are also described in J. Aschersleben et al. (2024). The source code to extract this dataset is publicy available here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11488472
