Erratum to "Results from the search for dark matter in the Milky Way with 9 years of data of the ANTARES neutrino telescope" [Phys. Lett. B 769 (2017) 249-254]
Abstract
Limits on the neutrino flux for a given mass MWIMP and annihilation channel are calculated as in Eq. (7) (page 252), with the integrated acceptances defined in Eq. (8) (page 252) as the effective area averaged over the neutrino energy. A numerical approximation of WIMP annihilation spectra, adapted from [1] with a too coarse binning, led to an overestimation of the integrated acceptances for dark-matter induced neutrino events. The spectra were replaced with a fine-binned version both in the likelihood and in the acceptances. The main change is a weaker limit for WIMP masses larger than 1 TeV/c2. Updated versions of Figs. 3-6 are provided.
