15 Jan 2007 | | Abstract: | A new revision of the gamma flux that we expect to detect in Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) from SUSY dark matter annihilation in the Draco dSph is presented using the dark matter density profiles compatible with the latest observations. This revision takes also into account the important effect of the Point Spread Function (PSF) of the telescope. We show that this effect is crucial in the way we will observe and interpret a possible signal detection. In particular, it could be impossible to discriminate between a cuspy and a cored dark matter density profile due to the fact that both density profiles may yield very similar flux profile observed by the telescope. Finally, we discuss the prospects to detect a possible gamma signal from Draco for current or planned experiments, i.e. MAGIC, GLAST and GAW. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0701426 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
