NAJADS: a self-contained framework for the direct determination of astrophysical J-factors
Anna Balaudo, Francesca Calore, Valentina De Romeri +1
Cosmological simulations play a pivotal role in understanding the properties of the dark matter (DM) distribution in both galactic and galaxy-cluster environments. The characteriza…
511 keV line constraints on feebly interacting particles from supernovae
Francesca Calore, Pierluca Carenza, Maurizio Giannotti +4
Feebly interacting particles with masses with O(10-100) MeV can be copiously produced by core-collapse supernovae (SNe). In this paper we consider the case of MeV-ish sterile neutr…
Determining the Dark Matter distribution in galaxies with Deep Learning
Martín Emilio de los Rios, Mihael Petač, Bryan Zaldivar +3
We present a novel method to infer the Dark Matter (DM) content and spatial distribution within galaxies, based on convolutional neural networks trained within state-of-the-art hyd…
3D template-based -LAT constraints on the diffuse supernova axion-like particle background
Francesca Calore, Pierluca Carenza, Christopher Eckner +7
Axion-like particles (ALPs) may be abundantly produced in core-collapse (CC) supernovae (SNe), hence the cumulative signal from all past SN events can create a diffuse flux peaked…
Reticulum II: Particle Dark Matter and Primordial Black Holes Limits
Thomas Siegert, Celine Boehm, Francesca Calore +4
Reticulum II (Ret II) is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way and presents a prime target to investigate the nature of dark matter (DM) because of its high mass-to-light ratio. We e…
Measuring the smearing of the Galactic 511 keV signal: positron propagation or supernova kicks?
Thomas Siegert, Roland M. Crocker, Oscar Macias +4
We use 15 years of -ray data from INTEGRAL/SPI in a refined investigation of the morphology of the Galactic bulge positron annihilation signal. Our spatial analysis confirms tha…
Supernova bounds on axion-like particles coupled with nucleons and electrons
Francesca Calore, Pierluca Carenza, Maurizio Giannotti +3
We investigate the potential of type II supernovae (SNe) to constrain axion-like particles (ALPs) coupled simultaneously to nucleons and electrons. ALPs coupled to nucleons can be…
Gamma-ray image reconstruction of the Andromeda galaxy
Celine Armand, Francesca Calore
We analyze about 12 years of Fermi-LAT data in the direction of the Andromeda galaxy (M31). We robustly characterize its spectral and morphological properties against systematic un…
Dissecting the inner Galaxy with -ray pixel count statistics
Francesca Calore, Fiorenza Donato, Silvia Manconi
We combine adaptive template fitting and pixel count statistics in order to assess the nature of the Galactic center excess in Fermi-LAT data. We reconstruct the flux distribution…
