Novel technique for monitoring the performance of the LAT instrument on board the GLAST satellite
D. Paneque, A. Borgland, A. Bovier +7
The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) is an observatory designed to perform gamma-ray astronomy in the energy range 20 MeV to 300 GeV, with supporting measurements for g…
Identifying Dark Matter Burners in the Galactic center
Igor V. Moskalenko, Lawrence L. Wai
If the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of our Galaxy grew adiabatically, then a dense "spike" of dark matter is expected to have formed around it. Assuming that dark m…
Dark matter burners
Igor V. Moskalenko, Lawrence L. Wai
We show that a star orbiting close enough to an adiabatically grown supermassive black hole (SMBH) can capture weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) at an extremely high rat…
The search for Milky Way halo substructure WIMP annihilations using the GLAST LAT
Lawrence Wai, GLAST LAT Collaboration
The GLAST LAT Collaboration is one among several experimental groups, covering a wide range of approaches, pursuing the search for the nature of dark matter. The GLAST LAT has the…
Dark Matter Searches with GLAST
Lawrence Wai, GLAST LAT Collaboration
Indirect detection of particle dark matter relies upon pair annihilation of Weakly Interaction Massive Particles (WIMPs), which is complementary to the well known techniques of dir…
Can Astrophysical Gamma Ray Sources Mimic Dark Matter Annihilation in Galactic Satellites?
Edward A. Baltz, James E. Taylor, Lawrence L. Wai
The nature of the cosmic dark matter is unknown. The most compelling hypothesis is that dark matter consists of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in the 100 GeV mass ran…
