Legacy Analysis of Dark Matter Annihilation from the Milky Way Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with 14 Years of Fermi-LAT Data: Data Products

This repository contains data products from the 14 year Fermi-LAT analysis of the Milky Way dSphs as described in McDaniel et al (2023). The included data products are the SED fits files and 2D TS profiles in the WIMP mass and cross section space. These are available for dSphs as well as the blank-field analysis, using both the standard likelihood and the weighted likelihood approach (see Appendix A). CSV data files are included containing relevant information about the dSphs (see table 1 of McDaniel+2024) and blank fields (RA & Dec).

Also included is a python Jupyter Notebook to show basic usage of the data products. For Example, plotting the SED likelihoods, converting the SED likelihood to DM space, creating a combined TS profile, obtaining upper limits, etc. This is also stored as a static html file for easier viewing.

SEDs are stored as fits files in the output format of fermipy (see https://fermipy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced/sed.html)

TS profiles are stored as numpy arrays covering 40 logarithmically spaced mass values over the 1 GeV - 1 TeV mass range and 60 logarithmically spaced cross-section values covering the 10^-28 to 10^-22 cm^3/s cross section range. TS profiles including the J-factor prior and without are available, and are labeled with "Jprior" or "noprior" respectively.
