We present the results of the most comprehensive survey of the Galactic plane in very high-energy
(VHE) γ-rays, including a public release of Galactic sky maps, a catalog of VHE …

The inner region of the Milky Way halo harbors a large amount of dark matter (DM). Given
its proximity, it is one of the most promising targets to look for DM. We report on a search for …

A search for a very-high-energy (VHE; ≥ 100 GeV ) γ -ray signal from self-annihilating
particle dark matter (DM) is performed towards a region of projected distance r ∼ 45 – 150 pc …
