We present the results of a first search for self-annihilating dark matter in nearby galaxies and galaxy clusters using a sample of high-energy neutrinos acquired in 339.8 days of live time during 2009/10 with the IceCube neutrino observatory in its 59-string configuration. The targets of interest include the Virgo and Coma galaxy clusters, the Andromeda galaxy, and several dwarf galaxies. We obtain upper limits on the cross section as a function of the weakly interacting massive particle mass between 300 GeV and 100 TeV for the annihilation into b bbar, W+W-, \tau+\tau-, \mu+\mu-, and \nu \nu bar. A limit derived for the Virgo cluster, when assuming a large effect from subhalos, challenges the weak interacting massive particle interpretation of a recently observed GeV positron excess in cosmic rays.

  1. Possible High-Energy Neutrino Emission from Dark Matter Annihilation in the Disrupting Dwarf Galaxy Bo\"{o}tes~III

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    IceCube data analysis yields a 3.1 sigma excess consistent with dark matter annihilation into neutrinos from the dwarf galaxy Bootes III at 26.5 TeV mass.
