Title    : Stellar Orbit Constraints on Neutralino Annihilation at the 
           Galactic Center
Author(s): Jeter Hall, Paolo Gondolo
EPrint   : astro-ph/0602400

Abstract:
Dark matter annihilation has been proposed to explain the TeV gamma 
rays observed from the Galactic Center. We study constraints on this 
hypothesis coming from the mass profile around the Galactic Center 
measured by observing stellar dynamics. We show that for current 
particle models, the constraints on the dark matter density profile 
from measurements of mass by infrared observations are comparable to 
the constraints from the measurements of the TeV source extension.
