Fermi electron spectrum: low energy part• 1 year of data• Spectrum from 7 GeV up to 1 TeV• Compatible wit a power law of index -3.08 +/- 0.05

Significance of deviations from the
mean rate.• No significant anisotropy is
observed in the CR electron flux.• The results can rule out
dominance of a very bright nearby source.

Galactic Halo Dark Matter Limits (|b|>10) from Fermi
• The diffuse flux from the Galactic halo can be used to set limits on dark matter annihilation.
– Relies on differences in the angular and spectral distributions of the diffuse production from cosmic rays versus dark matter.
– Still very preliminary. The constraints are very sensitive to the choice of the Galactic diffuse model. Investigations are still in progress of the dependence of the result on our astrophysical models of the Galaxy (e.g the CR source distribution, halo height, diffusion coef. etc.). R.P. Johnson

Galactic Diffuse Emission
• The first Fermi-LAT publication on the galactic diffuse spectrum is in disagreement with the EGRET spectrum.
• In particular, there is no obvious “GeV excess” with respect to standard models of the diffuse production from cosmic rays.

Fermi isotropic gamma-ray background• 1 year Femi LAT data, |b|> 10deg. • Derivation of the isotropic gamma-ray
flux (believed to be primarly extragalactic)
by reducing and understanding the residual CR background.• Guaranteed contribution: unresolved
extragalactic sources: blazars, star forming and star burst galaxies,...
• Spectrum featureless• Consistent with powerlaw : -2.41
22
• Some inconsistency with previous measurements by EGRET.
• Higher energy reach.

Recap: after known foregrounds are subtracted, an excess appears in the residual maps within the inner ~20 around the Galactic Center
[GeV-TeV electrons emit hard synchrotron in the frequency range of WMAP]
