摘要: Employing Fermi-LAT gamma ray observations, several independent groups have found excess extended emission at the Galactic center (GC). Both, annihilating dark matter (DM) or a population of $\sim 10^3$ unresolved millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are regarded as well motivated possible explanations. However, there is significant uncertainties in diffuse galactic background GC. We performed revaluation these two models for source GC by accounting systematic model. also marginalize over point and parameters region interest. show that significantly more than source. find DM (or population) signal larger errors therefore proceed to determine sectors parameter space provide an acceptable fit data. order 1000 MSPs with consistent average spectral shape measured was able emission. For DM, we pure $\tau^+\tau^-$ annihilation channel not good But mixture $b\bar{b}$ $\left $ thermal relic value mass around 20 60 GeV provides adequate fit.
