PoS(idm2008)055 Dark Matter Distributions of the Milky Way Satellites and Implications for Indirect Detection Louis E.

Martinez Center for Cosmology, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California-Irvine, Irvine, CA 92697 E-mail: gmartine@uci.edu We review recent progress in understanding the mass distributions of the Milky Way dwarf satel- lite population, with a specific focus on the implications for gamma-ray fluxes from dark matter. We outline a method that self-consitently predicts the gamma-ray fluxes from the satellites using line-of-sight velocities, the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM), and a model for the boost from substructure in the dark matter halos. Combining all of these ingredients, and accounting for the reduced astrophysical backgrounds relative to the Galactic center, the dwarf satellites make strong candidates for indirect detection with Fermi/GLAST and future Air Cerenkov Telescopes.
