Dark matter searches in dwarf spheroidal galaxies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Francesco Gabriele Saturni, Michele Doro, Aldo Morselli +1
Dark matter (DM) is one of the major components in the Universe. However, at present its existence is still only inferred through indirect astronomical observations. DM particles c…
Prospects for -ray observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium, :, K. Abe +564
Galaxy clusters are expected to be dark matter (DM) reservoirs and storage rooms for the cosmic-ray protons (CRp) that accumulate along the cluster's formation history. Accordingly…
