Search for dark matter annihilations towards the inner Galactic halo from 10 years of observations with HESS

H Abdallah, A Abramowski, F Aharonian… - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
The inner region of the Milky Way halo harbors a large amount of dark matter (DM). Given its
proximity, it is one of the most promising targets to look for DM. We report on a search for the …

Limits to dark matter annihilation cross-section from a combined analysis of MAGIC and Fermi-LAT observations of dwarf satellite galaxies
