An optimized Fermi-LAT analysis finds the Galactic Center Excess follows an approximately spherical generalized NFW morphology with inner slope ~1.15, a spectrum peaking at a few GeV, and only upper limits above tens of GeV.
Updated constraints on two simplified dark matter models for the Galactic Center Excess leave unconstrained parameter space after applying recent multi-experiment data.
