We study the prospects for detecting gamma-rays from point sources of Dark Matter annihilation with the space satellite GLAST. We simulate the instrument response to the gamma-ray spectrum arising from the annihilation of common Dark Matter…

The GLAST satellite mission will study the gamma ray sky with considerably greater exposure than its predecessor EGRET. In addition, it will be capable of measuring the arrival directions of gamma rays with much greater precision. These…
