Due to their proximity, high dark-matter content, and apparent absence of non-thermal processes, Milky Way dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies (dSphs) are excellent targets for the indirect detection of dark matter. Recently, eight new dSph candidates were discovered using the first year of data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We searched for gamma-ray emission coincident with the positions of these new objects in six years of Fermi Large Area Telescope data. We found no significant excesses of gamma-ray emission. Under the assumption that the DES candidates are dSphs with dark matter halo properties similar to the known dSphs, we computed individual and combined limits on the velocity-averaged dark matter annihilation cross section for these new targets. If the estimated dark-matter content of these dSph candidates is confirmed, they will constrain the annihilation cross section to lie below the thermal relic cross section for dark matter particles with masses < 20 GeV annihilating via the b-bbar or tau+tau- channels.

Search for Dark Matter Annihilation and Decay with H$\alpha$ Line Emission
H-alpha line emission from recombining gas in quiet dwarf galaxies is a new probe of dark matter annihilation/decay, giving leading limits for some dark matter masses.

Searching for dark matter annihilating into light long-lived mediators from stars inside dwarf spheroidal galaxies
Fermi-LAT observations of ten dwarf spheroidals place upper limits on dark matter-nucleon scattering by modeling stellar capture and annihilation through long-lived mediators.

The curtain lowers on directly detectable higgsino dark matter
Using LZ2024 limits, the paper derives new lower bounds on gaugino masses and upper bounds on higgsino mass splittings in decoupled-MSSM higgsino dark matter scenarios, plus projections for the neutrino fog.
