Indirect Dark Matter Detection Limits from Simulated Dwarf Galaxies

ORAL

Abstract

We investigate the indirect detection prospects of dark matter annihilation for dwarf galaxies expected to be discovered by the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). We utilize a background model validated with Fermi Telescope data that includes point sources, the isotropic extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGB), and the intergalactic background (InterGB). We use dark-matter-only N-body simulations to produce a population of simulated dwarf galaxies that should be representative of the true Milky Way distribution. We use this population to simulate the distribution of dwarf galaxies likely to be discovered by LSST as our regions of interests for the dark matter annihilation signal.
