Possible indirect detection of neutralino, through its gamma-ray annihilation product, by the forthcoming GLAST satellite from our galactic halo, M31, M87 and the dwarf galaxies Draco and Sagittarius is studied. Gamma-ray fluxes are…
Monochromatic photons could be produced in the annihilation or decay of dark matter particles. At high energies, the search for such line features in the cosmic gamma-ray spectrum is essentially background free because plausible…
We evaluate the fluxes of up--going muons detectable in a neutrino telescope and due to the annihilation of relic neutralinos in the Earth and in the Sun, taking realistically into account the fact that neutralinos might provide only a…
Upcoming $\gamma$-ray satellites will search for Dark Matter annihilations in Milky Way substructures (or 'clumps'). The prospects for detecting these objects strongly depend on the assumptions made on the distribution of Dark Matter in…
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies compose one of the most dark matter dominated classes of objects, making them a set of targets to search for signals of dark matter annihilation. Recent developments in gamma-ray astronomy, most importantly the…
If the dark matter particle is a neutralino then the first structures to form are cuspy cold dark matter (CDM) haloes collapsing after redshifts z ~ 100 in the mass range 10^{-6} - 10^{-3} Msun. We carry out a detailed study of the survival…
Neutralino annihilation in the Galactic halo is the most definite observational signature proposed for indirect registration of the SUSY Dark Matter (DM) candidate particles. The corresponding annihilation signal (in the form of gamma-rays,…
Indirect detection experiments typically measure the flux of annihilating dark matter (DM) particles propagating freely through galactic halos. We consider a new scenario where celestial bodies "focus" DM annihilation events, increasing the…
We have studied the effects on the gamma-ray flux on Earth by neutralino annihilations in caustic rings of dark matter in the Galactic halo. The caustic ring model by Sikivie has been used where dark matter particles are assumed to possess…
Based on minimal supersymmetric standard model, neutralino dark matter annihilation induced gamma ray emission from galaxy cluster 1E0657-56 is calculated. The merge of bullet-like subcluster with the main cluster is also investigated.
We examine the detectability through indirect means of weakly interacting dark matter candidates that may constitute not all but only a subdominant component of galactic cold dark matter. We show that the possibility of indirect detection…
We compute the electromagnetic radiative corrections to all leading annihilation processes which may occur in the Galactic dark matter halo, for dark matter in the framework of supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model (MSSM and…
We investigate compact halos of sterile-neutrino dark matter and examine observable signatures with respect to neutrino and photon emission. Primarily, we consider two cases: primordial black-hole halos and ultra-compact mini-halos. In both…
We discuss the detectability of dark matter clumps in the Milky Way halo due to neutralino annihilation. We then focus on a known ``clump'', the Large Magellanic Cloud.
Recently reported tentative evidence for a gamma-ray line in the Fermi-LAT data is of great potential interest for identifying the nature of dark matter. We compare the implications for decaying and annihilating dark matter taking the…
It is possible that the strongest interactions between dark matter and the Standard Model occur via the neutrino sector. Unlike gamma rays and charged particles, neutrinos provide a unique avenue to probe for astrophysical sources of dark…
Dark matter annihilation in Galactic substructure produces diffuse gamma-ray emission of remarkably constant intensity across the sky, and in general this signal dominates over the smooth halo signal at angles greater than a few tens of…
We trace the origin of the newly determined extragalactic gamma ray background from EGRET data to an unresolved population of blazars and neutralino annihilation in cold dark matter halos. Using results of high-resolution simulations of…
We calculate the antiproton flux due to relic neutralino annihilations, in a two-dimensional diffusion model compatible with stable and radioactive cosmic ray nuclei. We find that the uncertainty in the primary flux induced by the…
The halo of the Miky Way might contain numerous and dense substructures inside which the putative weakly interacting massive particles (suggested as the main constituent of the astronomical dark matter) would produce a stronger annihilation…
