Dark matter annihilation in the Galactic Center as seen by the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope
TL;DR: In this paper, the first two years of data from the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope from the direction of the inner 10° around the Galactic Center with the intention of constraining, or finding evidence of, annihilating dark matter was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
History of dark matter
Gianfranco Bertone,Dan Hooper +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a broader historical perspective on the observational discoveries and theoretical arguments that led the scientific community to adopt dark matter as an essential part of the standard cosmological model.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Characterization of the Gamma-Ray Signal from the Central Milky Way: A Compelling Case for Annihilating Dark Matter
Tansu Daylan,Douglas P. Finkbeiner,Dan Hooper,Tim Linden,Stephen K. N. Portillo,Nicholas L. Rodd,Tracy R. Slatyer +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suppress the tails of the point spread function and generate high-resolution gamma-ray maps, enabling them to more easily separate the various gamma-rays components.

The characterization of the gamma-ray signal from the central Milky Way: A case for annihilating dark matter
Tansu Daylan,Douglas P. Finkbeiner,Dan Hooper,Dan Hooper,Tim Linden,Stephen K. N. Portillo,Nicholas L. Rodd,Tracy R. Slatyer,Tracy R. Slatyer +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors suppress the tails of the point spread function and generate high-resolution gamma-ray maps, enabling them to more easily separate the various gamma ray components, and find the GeV excess to be robust and highly statistically significant, with a spectrum, angular distribution and overall normalization that is in good agreement with that predicted by simple annihilating dark matter models.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Limits on Dark Matter Annihilation from Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer Cosmic Ray Positron Data
TL;DR: The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment onboard the International Space Station has recently provided cosmic ray electron and positron data with unprecedented precision in the range from 0.5 to 350 GeV.
