Indirect searches for dark matter are based on detecting an anomalous flux of photons, neutrinos or cosmic-rays produced in annihilations or decays of dark matter candidates gravitationally accumulated in heavy cosmological objects, like galaxies, the Sun or the Earth. Additionally, evidence for dark matter that can also be understood as indirect can be obtained from early universe probes, like fluctuations of the Cosmic Microwave Background temperature, the primordial abundance of light elements or the Hydrogen 21-cm line. The techniques needed to detect these different signatures require very different types of detectors: air shower arrays, gamma- and X-ray telescopes, Cherenkov telescopes, neutrino telescopes, radio telescopes or particle detectors in balloons or satellites. Although many of these detectors were not originally intended to search for dark matter, they have proven to be unique complementary tools to the direct search efforts. In this review we summarize the current status of indirect searches for dark matter, mentioning also the challenges and limitations that these techniques encounter.

Search for GeV-scale Dark Matter from the Galactic Center with IceCube-DeepCore
Using 9.28 years of IceCube-DeepCore data, no dark-matter neutrino signal is found from the Galactic Center, setting the strongest neutrino-telescope limits for GeV-scale annihilation and decay.

Can Orbital Decay of Accreting Binary Pulsars Probe Dark Matter?
Dark matter accretion onto binary pulsars is far too weak to affect observed orbital decay, so existing pulsar timing data cannot probe dark matter microphysics.

Decays and annihilation of galactic dark matter: determine $D$-, $J_s$-, $J_p$- and $J_d$-factors with dark matter profiles inferred from GravSphere fit to stellar observations
The authors compute D, Js, Jp and Jd factors for 20 dwarf spheroidals from GravSphere fits and give power-law scaling relations in distance, half-light radius, and velocity dispersion.

Constraining Effective Field Theories for dark matter candidates annihilating into gamma-ray lines with CTAO
Using CTAO projected line sensitivity, the paper forecasts lower bounds on effective dark matter interaction scales above 10 TeV for TeV mass dark matter, with direct detection dominating the fermionic dipole operator.
