- W4220740074 abstract "The nature of the Fermi $ensuremath{gamma}$-ray Galactic Center excess (GCE) has remained a persistent mystery for over a decade. Although the excess is broadly compatible with emission expected due to dark matter annihilation, an explanation in terms of a population of unresolved astrophysical point sources, e.g., millisecond pulsars, remains viable. The effort to uncover the origin of the GCE is hampered in particular by an incomplete understanding of diffuse emission of Galactic origin. This can lead to spurious features that make it difficult to robustly differentiate smooth emission, as expected for a dark matter origin, from more ``clumpy'' emission expected from a population of relatively bright, unresolved point sources. We use recent advancements in the field of simulation-based inference, in particular density estimation techniques using normalizing flows, in order to characterize the contribution of modeled components, including unresolved point source populations, to the GCE. Compared to traditional techniques based on the statistical distribution of photon counts, our machine-learning-based method is able to utilize more of the information contained in a given model of the Galactic Center emission and in particular can perform posterior parameter estimation while accounting for pixel-to-pixel spatial correlations in the $ensuremath{gamma}$-ray map. This makes the method demonstrably more resilient to certain forms of model misspecification. On application to Fermi data, the method generically attributes a smaller fraction of the GCE flux to unresolved point sources when compared to traditional approaches. We nevertheless infer such a contribution to make up a non-negligible fraction of the GCE across all analysis variations considered, with at least ${38}_{ensuremath{-}19}^{+9}%$ of the excess attributed to unresolved point sources in our baseline analysis." @default.
