The Fermi $gamma$-ray space telescope reported the observation of several Galactic supernova remnants recently, with the $gamma$-ray spectra well described by hadronic $pp$ collisions. The possible neutrino emissions from these Fermi detected superno va remnants are discussed in this work, assuming the hadronic origin of the $gamma$-ray emission. The muon event rates induced by the neutrinos from these supernova remnants on typical km$^3$ neutrino telescopes, such as the IceCube and the KM3NeT, are calculated. The results show that for most of these supernova remnants the neutrino signals are too weak to be detected by the on-going or up-coming neutrino experiment. Only for the TeV bright sources RX J1713.7-3946 and possibly W28 the neutrino signals can be comparable with the atmospheric background in the TeV region, if the protons can be accelerated to very high energies. The northern hemisphere based neutrino telescope might detect the neutrinos from these two sources.
The $gamma$-ray and neutrino emissions from dark matter (DM) annihilation in galaxy clusters are studied. After about one year operation of Fermi-LAT, several nearby clusters are reported with stringent upper limits of GeV $gamma$-ray emission. We us e the Fermi-LAT upper limits of these clusters to constrain the DM model parameters. We find that the DM model distributed with substructures predicted in cold DM (CDM) scenario is strongly constrained by Fermi-LAT $gamma$-ray data. Especially for the leptonic annihilation scenario which may account for the $e^{pm}$ excesses discovered by PAMELA/Fermi-LAT/HESS, the constraint on the minimum mass of substructures is of the level $10^2-10^3$ M$_{odot}$, which is much larger than that expected in CDM picture, but is consistent with a warm DM scenario. We further investigate the sensitivity of neutrino detections of the clusters by IceCube. It is found that neutrino detection is much more difficult than $gamma$-rays. Only for very heavy DM ($sim 10$ TeV) together with a considerable branching ratio to line neutrinos the neutrino sensitivity is comparable with that of $gamma$-rays.
In this work, we revisit the all-sky Galactic diffuse $gamma$-ray emission taking into account the new measurements of cosmic ray electron/positron spectrum by PAMELA, ATIC and Fermi, which show excesses of cosmic electrons/positrons beyond the expec ted fluxes in the conventional model. Since the origins of the extra electrons/positrons are not clear, we consider three different scenarios to account for the excesses: the astrophysical sources such as the Galactic pulsars, dark matter decay and annihilation. Further, new results from Fermi-LAT of the (extra-)Galactic diffuse $gamma$-ray are adopted. The background cosmic rays without the new sources give lower diffuse $gamma$ rays compared to Fermi-LAT observation, which is consistent with previous analysis. The scenario with astrophysical sources predicts diffuse $gamma$-rays with little difference with the background. The dark matter annihilation models with $tau^{pm}$ final state are disfavored by the Fermi diffuse $gamma$-ray data, while there are only few constraints on the decaying dark matter scenario. Furthermore, these is always a bump at higher energies ($sim$ TeV) of the diffuse $gamma$-ray spectra for the dark matter scenarios due to final state radiation. Finally we find that the Fermi-LAT diffuse $gamma$-ray data can be explained by simply enlarging the normalization of the electron spectrum without introduce any new sources, which may indicate that the current constraints on the dark matter models can be much stronger given a precise background estimate.
