Comparing Galactic Center MSSM dark matter solutions to the Reticulum II gamma-ray data
Abraham Achterberg, Melissa van Beekveld, Wim Beenakker +2
Observations with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) indicate a possible small photon signal originating from the dwarf galaxy Reticulum II that exceeds the expected background b…
Mind the gap: The discrepancy between simulation and reality drives interpretations of the Galactic Center Excess
Sascha Caron, Christopher Eckner, Luc Hendriks +3
The Galactic Center Excess (GCE) in GeV gamma rays has been debated for over a decade, with the possibility that it might be due to dark matter annihilation or undetected point sou…
SPOT: Open Source framework for scientific data repository and interactive visualization
Faruk Diblen, Jisk Attema, Rena Bakhshi +3
SPOT is an open source and free visual data analytics tool for multi-dimensional data-sets. Its web-based interface allows a quick analysis of complex data interactively. The opera…
Analyzing γ-rays of the Galactic Center with Deep Learning
Sascha Caron, Germán A. Gómez-Vargas, Luc Hendriks +1
We present a new method to interpret the -ray data of our inner Galaxy as measured by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi LAT). We train and test convolutional neural network…
Inferring astrophysical X-ray polarization with deep learning
Nikita Moriakov, Ashwin Samudre, Michela Negro +3
We investigate the use of deep learning in the context of X-ray polarization detection from astrophysical sources as will be observed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXP…
Implications of the Fermi-LAT Pass 8 Galactic Center Excess on Supersymmetric Dark Matter
Abraham Achterberg, Melissa van Beekveld, Sascha Caron +3
The Fermi Collaboration has recently updated their analysis of gamma rays from the center of the Galaxy. They reconfirm the presence of an unexplained emission feature which is mos…
