Model-independent constraints on dark matter annihilation in dwarf spheroidal galaxies
Model-independent constraints on dark matter annihilation in dwarf spheroidal galaxies
We present a general, model-independent formalism for determining bounds on the production of photons in dwarf spheroidal galaxies via dark matter annihilation, applicable to any set of assumptions about dark matter particle physics or astrophysics. As an illustration, we analyze gamma-ray data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope to constrain …
