## TL;DR

This paper estimates the gamma-ray flux from SUSY dark matter annihilation in Draco dwarf galaxy, emphasizing the impact of telescope PSF on detection prospects with MAGIC and GLAST.

## Contribution

It introduces a new gamma flux estimation considering latest DM density profiles and telescope PSF effects for Draco.

## Key findings

- PSF significantly affects gamma-ray signal interpretation.
- Detection prospects vary with telescope and DM profile assumptions.
- Updated flux estimates improve search strategies for dark matter signals.

## Abstract

A new estimation of the gamma-ray flux that we expect to detect from SUSY dark matter annihilation from the Draco dSph is presented using the DM density profiles compatible with the latest observations. This calculation takes also into account the important effect of the Point Spread Function (PSF) of the telescope. We show that this effect is crucial in the way we will observe and interpret a possible signal detection. Finally, we discuss the prospects to detect a possible gamma signal from Draco for MAGIC and GLAST.
