Abstract
The Fermi Gamma‐Ray Space Telescope, successfully launched on June 11th, 2008, is the next generation satellite experiment for high‐energy gamma‐ray astronomy. The main instrument, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), with a wide field of view (>2 sr), a large effective area (>8000 cm2 at 1 GeV), sub‐arcminute source localization, a large energy range (20 MeV–300 GeV) and a good energy resolution (close to 8% at 1 GeV), has excellent potential to either discover or to constrain a Dark Matter signal. The Fermi LAT team pursues complementary searches for signatures of particle Dark Matter in different search regions such as the galactic center, galactic satellites and subhalos, the milky way halo, extragalactic regions as well as the search for spectral lines. In these proceedings we examine the potential of the LAT to detect gamma‐rays coming from Weakly Interacting Massive Particle annihilations in these regions with special focus on the galactic center region.
