Examining The Fermi-LAT Third Source Catalog in search of dark matter subhalos
Examining The Fermi-LAT Third Source Catalog in search of dark matter subhalos
Dark matter annihilations taking place in nearby subhalos could appear as gamma-ray sources without detectable counterparts at other wavelengths. In this study, we consider the collection of unassociated gamma-ray sources reported by the Fermi Collaboration in an effort to identify the most promising dark matter subhalo candidates. While we identify …
