Description

Indirect searches for dark matter with the ground-based MAGIC telescopes will be reviewed. Different targets with a large expected dark matter content, such as galaxy clusters and dwarf satellite galaxies, allow to constrain dark-matter annihilation/decay processes up to the TeV mass scale. Latest results from deep observations of the galaxy cluster Perseus and the dwarf spheroidal Ursa Major II will be presented.
