Description
Dark matter captured by interaction with electrons inside the Sun may annihilate via long-lived mediators to produce observable gamma-ray signals. We utilize solar gamma-ray flux measurements from the Fermi Large Area Telescope and High Altitude Water Cherenkov observatory to put bounds on the dark matter electron scattering cross-section. We find that our limits are four to six orders of magnitude stronger than the existing limits for dark matter masses ranging between GeV to PeV scale.
