Abstract content
The Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy has garnered interest as a possible source for the indirect detection of dark matter. Draco has a large mass-to-light ratio, and its relative proximity to the Earth provides favorable conditions for the production of detectable gamma-rays from dark matter self-annihilation in the galaxy's core. The Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE) is an air-shower Cherenkov telescope located in Albuquerque, NM capable of detecting gamma-rays with an energy threshold of about 250 GeV for this source. We present the results of the STACEE observations of Draco during the 2005-2006 observing season totaling approximately 10 hours of livetime after cuts.
