DESCRIPTION:\n    Hypothetical dark matter annihilation signal is expected
  to be brightest towards the Galactic center (GC). Several groups have rep
 orted an excess of gamma-ray emission towards the GC. The excess signal ha
 s a peak in spectral energy distribution around a few GeV and it is consis
 tent with a source being approximately spherical in shape. The possibility
  that this excess is coming from annihilating dark matter particles is ver
 y exciting\, but one has to be very careful in eliminating other possible 
 explanations of the excess. In the talk\, I will describe the current obse
 rvational status of the GC excess and review possible explanations\, inclu
 ding sources of cosmic rays near the Galactic center\, a population of mil
 lisecond pulsars in the Galactic bulge\, and dark matter annihilation. I w
 ill also discuss the prospects of disentangling the nature of the excess w
 ith future observations.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/2749/
