TLDR
In this article, the authors study the variation of the spectrum of the Fermi Bubbles with Galactic latitude and conclude that a second (noninverse-Compton) emission mechanism must be responsible for the bulk of the low-energy, low-latitude emission.About:

The Characterization of the Gamma-Ray Signal from the Central Milky Way: A Compelling Case for Annihilating Dark Matter

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.

Background model systematics for the Fermi GeV excess
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive study of model systematics coming from the Galactic diuse emission in the inner part of our Galaxy and their impact on the inferred properties of the excess emission at Galactic latitudes 2 < jbj < 20 and 300 MeV to 500 GeV were presented.

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.

A Universal Density Profile from Hierarchical Clustering
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used high-resolution N-body simulations to study the equilibrium density profiles of dark matter halos in hierarchically clustering universes, and they found that all such profiles have the same shape, independent of the halo mass, the initial density fluctuation spectrum, and the values of the cosmological parameters.
