Description

Radio observations can provide useful information about the nature of dark matter: axion line, etc. In this talk, I will briefly review the relevant dark matter phenomenology in these frequencies and present fresh results from the stacked analysis of six dwarf spheroidal galaxies by the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR). This is the first time such an analysis has been carried out using LOFAR data. I will also briefly introduce diffsph, a python library for the computation of diffuse radio emission profiles and spectra in dwarf galaxies from any source.
