<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mi>J</mml:mi></mml:math> -factors for velocity-dependent dark matter annihilation

If dark matter annihilates with a velocity-dependent cross section within a subhalo, then the magnitude and angular distribution of the resulting photon signal will change. These effects are encoded in the $J$-factor. In this work we compute the $J$-factor for a variety of choices for the cross section velocity dependence, …
