Description
The MAGIC TeV gamma-ray telescopes have devote almost a thousand hour
of observation time in about a decade, to hunt for dark matter
indirect signatures in gamma rays, from various candidate of interests
in the sky: the galactic center, dwarf galaxies, galaxy clusters and
unidentified objects in other bands. Despite the effort, no hints are
present in MAGIC data. These observation are nevertheless not
unusable. MAGIC indeed derived the most robust upper limits in the TeV
range than any other instrument. These results for now only mildly
constrain some classic dark matter models, but are of use in the
construction of dark matter models for the next searches, that
consider also the missing results from accelerator and
direct-detection experiments.
In the contribution, we discuss and review MAGIC results, putting them
into context, and in perspective with the next generation of
ground-based Cherenkov telescopes. We will briefly inform about future
MAGIC projects regarding dark matter searches.
