Dark matter theory: Implications and future prospects for Fermi

TL;DR

This paper reviews how Fermi gamma-ray data impacts dark matter theories, discusses combining it with other data sources, and explores future prospects for testing dark matter models.

Contribution

It provides a concise overview of the implications of Fermi data for dark matter theories and discusses future observational prospects.

Findings

Fermi data constrains dark matter models.

Combining Fermi data with other probes enhances understanding.

Future observations may further test dark matter theories.

Abstract

I give a brief review of some of the implications of Fermi data for theories of the identity of dark matter, and their combination with data from other complementary probes. I also preview some of the prospects for probing such models with future data.
