Search for line signal candidates in the Fermi-LAT data

Abstract

In order to search for the line-like signals in the Fermi-LAT data, we have analyzed totally 49152 regions of interest (ROIs) that cover the whole sky. No ROI displays a line signal with test statistic (TS) value above 25, while for 50 ROIs weak line-like excesses with $\mathrm{TS}>16$ are presented. The intrinsic significances of these potential signals are further reduced by the large trial factor introduced in such kind of analysis. For the largest TS value of 24.3 derived in our analysis, the corresponding global significance is only $0.54\sigma$. We thus do not find any significant line-like signal and set up constraints on the cross section of dark matter annihilating to gamma-ray lines, ${⟨\sigma v⟩}_{\gamma \gamma }$.
