Abstract:Dwarf irregular galaxies (dIrrs), as rotationally-supported systems, have more re-
liable J-factor measurements than dwarf spheroidal galaxies and have received attention as
targets for dark matter detection in recent years. In this paper, we use 10 years of IceCube
muon-track data and an unbinned maximum-likelihood-ratio method to search for neutrino
signals beyond the background from the directions of 7 dIrrs, aiming to detect neutrinos pro-
duced by heavy annihilation… Show more
