FermiX

This repository contains the F and astrophysical emissivity measurements, as well as example notebooks on its usage, from its companion paper "Constraints on dark matter and astrophysics from tomographic gamma-ray cross-correlations". Both quantities, F and the astroyphysical emissivity, are defined in Section II D 3 and Section II E of the paper respectively. The F measurements extracted from the raw cross-correlations have been used in the paper to put constraints on the velocity-averaged annihilation rate $\langle \sigma v \rangle$ and the decay rate $\Gamma$ for dark matter annihilation and decay respectively. The astrophysical emissivity measurements have been used to put constraints on the energy and redshift dependence of the detected $\gamma$-ray emissivity without assuming a particular origin.

The data folder

This folder contains 4 data files: the F measurements for the case of annihliation in three different substructure reigmes (SC14, M16, G12), decay, and emissivity measurements.

Notebooks

The notebooks Astrophysical_example and Fmeasurements_example accompanies the data folder by showing the user how to extract information from the data files. The supplementary notebooks Extracting_F_from_Cls_Decay and Extracting_F_from_Cls_Annihilation shows how these F measurements were obtained from our raw gamma-ray cross-correlations.
