       | Interesting if true. Unfortunately there are just too many

       | rays, energetic positrons etc (especially when you look in at the
       | central part of the MW). So while I wouldn't rule out the
       | explanation, I don't think the paper the paper provides
       | particularly convincing case in favour of DM annihilation
       | explanation vs alternatives.

       | see a topical study on it in such a timely fashion.
