英文摘要 | Very recently the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Collaboration has released their second group of dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy candidates. With the publicly available Pass 8 data of Fermi-LAT we search for.-ray emissions from the directions of these eight newly discovered dSph galaxy candidates. No statistically significant gamma-ray signal has been found in the combined analysis of these sources. With the empirically estimated J-factors of these sources, the constraint on the annihilation channel of xx -> tau(+)tau(-) is comparable to the bound set by the joint analysis of fifteen previously known dSphs with kinematically constrained J-factors for the dark matter mass m(x) > 250 GeV. In the direction of Tucana III (DES J2356-5935), one of the nearest dSph galaxy candidates that is similar to 25 kpc away, there is a weak.-ray signal and its peak test statistic (TS) value for the dark matter annihilation channel xx -> tau(+)tau(-1) is approximate to 6.7 at m(x) similar to 15 GeV. The significance of the possible signal likely increases with time. More data is highly needed to pin down the physical origin of such a GeV excess. |
