According to the Lambda Cold Dark Matter paradigm, the dark matter halos
today were formed through successive mergers of smaller mass halos. Part
of these merging halos survived without being disrupted in the merging
event, and form the structure of galaxies and clusters today.
We implement different models describing the properties of a population of substructures inside the Milky Way as well as at cosmological distances, based on recent N-body simulation.
We also study the properties of the observed satellites of our Milky Way
such as the dwarf galaxies, based on an hybrid modeling derived from
astronomical data and numerical simulations.
We present our predictions and available constraints for the indirect
detection of dark matter through the observation of gamma-rays and
antimatter produced in the annihilation process, in the case when the dark
matter particle is the lightest supersymmetric particle.
We make predictions for both the Fermi telescope and for the Air Cherenkov
Telescopes and show comparisons with the already available data.
