Description

Fermi-LAT has revolutionized our understanding of the gamma-ray sky from hundreds of MeV up to almost TeV energies. One of the main scientific goals of the LAT Team is to search for a dark matter production of gamma rays. This search is performed by analyzing the data in the direction of the most promising dark matter targets: the Galactic center, Milky Way Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies, the closest galaxies as Triangulum and Andromeda and the Small and the Large Magellanic cloud. In this talk I will present the latest Fermi-LAT Collaboration results and future strategies for dark matter searches with gamma-ray data.
