Studies of Fermi data indicate an excess of GeV gamma rays around the Galactic center (GC), possibly due to dark matter. We show that young gamma-ray pulsars can yield a similar signal. First, a high concentration of GC supernovae naturally…

The prevalent view that the radio-loud gamma-ray pulsars have gamma-ray luminosities that exceed their radio luminosities by several orders of magnitude is based on the assumption that the decay with distance of their gamma-ray fluxes obeys…
