Descripción
Discovering the nature of Dark Matter (DM) is one of the fundamental
challenges of the modern physics. Indirect searches of DM are devoted to
look for non-gravitational signals of its presence in the highly DM
dominated cosmic regions. Within the weakly interacting massive
particles (WIMPs) scenario, we expect very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray
emissions resulting from annihilation and/or decay of DM particles.
Since the beginning of operations, the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging
Cherenkov (MAGIC) telescopes are carrying out deep observations of
several promising DM targets, with the aim of detecting such signals or
alternatively setting stringent constrains to DM particle models in the
TeV mass region. In this contribution we present the latest indirect DM
search results achieved by MAGIC on several targets, such as dwarf
satellites – where MAGIC reached the strongest constraints on DM
annihilation searches above few hundreds of GeV –, galaxy
clusters, and the Galactic Center.
