I'm no expert in indirect dark matter detection, but I have to wonder how many dwarfs don't have any such excess that should have one if this measurement represents dark matter. Also: - I wish there was an error estimate for the background model - The slight deficit of events below 1 GeV in figure 1 makes me wonder if there's somehow a systematic shift due to energy bias or some binning effect. It's difficult to reason about bins when both axes depend on energy. It also doesn't seem like they included energy resolution in the errors.
