The possible gamma-ray excess in the inner Galaxy and the Galactic center (GC) suggested by Fermi-LAT observations has triggered a large number of studies. It has been interpreted as a variety of different phenomena such as a signal from…

We estimate the spatial locations of sources of the the observed features in the Fermi-LAT photon spectrum at $E_\gamma=110$ and $E_\gamma=130$ GeV. We determine whether they are consistent with emission from a single source, as would be…

The observation of a gamma-ray line in the cosmic-ray fluxes would be a smoking-gun signature for dark matter annihilation or decay in the Universe. We present an improved search for such signatures in the data of the Fermi Large Area…
