fermi-gce-flows: Infer the Galactic Center gamma-ray excess
Abstract
fermi-gce-flows uses a machine learning-based technique to characterize the contribution of modeled components, including unresolved point sources, to the GCE. It can perform posterior parameter estimation while accounting for pixel-to-pixel spatial correlations in the gamma-ray map. On application to Fermi data, the method generically attributes a smaller fraction of the GCE flux to unresolved point source-like emission when compared to traditional approaches.
