In present analysis we complete search for a dark matter signal with the Baikal neutrino telescope NT200 from potential sources in the sky. We use five years of data and look for neutrinos from dark matter annihilations in the dwarfs spheroidal galaxies in the Southern hemisphere and the Large Magellanic Cloud known as the largest and close satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. We do not find any excess in observed data over expected background from the atmospheric neutrinos towards the LMC or any of tested 22 dwarfs. We perform a joint likelihood analysis on the sample of five selected dwarfs and found a concordance of the data with null hypothesis of the background-only observation. We derive 90% CL upper limits on the cross section of annihilating dark matter particles of mass between 30 GeV and 10 TeV into several channels both in our combined analysis of the dwarfs and in a particular analysis towards the LMC.

We reanalyze the dataset collected during the years 1998--2003 by the deep underwater neutrino telescope NT200 in the lake Baikal with the low energy threshold (10 GeV) in searches for neutrino signal from dark matter annihilations near the center of the Milky Way. Two different approaches are used in the present analysis: counting events in the cones around the direction towards the Galactic Center and the maximum likelihood method. We assume that the dark matter particles annihilate dominantly over one of the annihilation channels $bbar{b}$, $W^+W^-$, $tau^+tau^-$, $mu^+mu^-$ or $ ubar{ u}$. No significant excess of events towards the Galactic Center over expected neutrino background of atmospheric origin is found and we derive 90% CL upper limits on the annihilation cross section of dark matter.
We have analyzed a data set taken over 2.76 years live time with the Baikal neutrino telescope NT200. The goal of the analysis is to search for neutrinos from dark matter annihilation in the center of the Sun. Apart from the conventional annihilation channels $bbar{b}$, $W^+W^-$ and $tau^+tau^-$ we consider also the annihilation of dark matter particles into monochromatic neutrinos. From the absence of any excess of events from the direction of the Sun over the expected background, we derive 90% upper limits on the fluxes of muons and muon neutrinos from the Sun, as well as on the elastic cross sections of dark matter scattering on protons.
Triangulum-II, a newly discovered dwarf spheroidal galaxy, is a strong candidate for the indirect search of dark matter through the detection of $gamma$-ray emission that could originate from the pair- annihilation of weakly interacting massive parti cles (WIMPs). We here report on the analysis of almost seven years Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope data of Triangulum-II which was taken during its all sky survey operation mode. No excess $gamma$-ray emission has been detected above 100 MeV from Triangulum-II. We derive the upper limits on $gamma$-ray flux assuming both the power-law spectra and the spectra related to WIMP annihilation. In this work, we have considered several theoretical WIMP (neutralinos here) models envisioning both thermal and non-thermal production of WIMPs, and put limits on pair-annihilation cross-section of WIMPs to constrain the parameter space related to those theoretical models.
We present the results of a new analysis of data taken in 1998-2002 for a search for high-energy extraterrestrial neutrinos. The analysis is based on a full reconstruction of high-energy cascade parameters: vertex coordinates, energy and arrival dire ction. Upper limits on the diffuse fluxes of all neutrino flavors, predicted by several models of AGN-like neutrino sources are derived. For an ${bf E^{-2}}$ behavior of the neutrino spectrum, our limit is ${bf E^{2} F_{ u}(E) < 2.9 times 10^{-7}}$ cm${bf ^{-2}}$ s${bf ^{-1}}$ sr${bf ^{-1}}$ GeV over a neutrino energy range ${bf 2 times 10^4 div 2 times 10^7}$ GeV. This limit is by a factor of 2.8 more stringent than a limit obtained with a previous analysis.
We analyse sensitivity of the gigaton volume telescope Baikal-GVD for detection of neutrino signal from dark matter annihilations or decays in the Galactic Center. Expected bounds on dark matter annihilation cross section and its lifetime are found for several annihilation/decay channels.
