Abstract:

The distant globular cluster Palomar 13 has been found to have a very high mass-to-light ratio. Its profile can be well fitted either by using a King model with a tail, or by a NFW model [1]. This cluster may be the first case of the many clumps predicted by CDM simulations that would not be disrupted by the galactic halo potential. We assume that Pal 13 is made of neutralinos and we run the DarkSuspect code for five benchmark models. This code allows to estimate the gamma-ray flux produced in annihilations of neutralinos. These fluxes may be used as targets to be reached in proposals for future ground-based high altitude Cerenkov telescopes.
