Dark matter line search using a joint analysis of dwarf galaxies with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (1206.0796v2)

Published 5 Jun 2012 in astro-ph.HE, astro-ph.CO, and hep-ph

Abstract: We perform a joint analysis of dwarf galaxy data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in search of dark matter annihilation into a gamma-ray line. We employ a novel statistical method that takes into account the spatial and spectral information of individual photon events from a sample of seven dwarf galaxies. Dwarf galaxies show no evidence of a gamma-ray line between 10 GeV and 1 TeV. The subsequent upper limit on the annihilation cross section to a two-photon final state is 3.9(+7.1)(-3.7) x 10-26 cm3/s at 130 GeV, where the errors reflect the systematic uncertainty in the distribution of dark matter within the dwarf galaxies.
