After subtraction of the diffuse -ray emission from the GC ridge, the source is compatible with a point source with spatial extent less than 1.2(stat) (95% C.L.). The measured energy spectrum above 160 GeV is compatible with a power law with photon index of 2.25±0.04(stat)±0.10(syst) and no significant flux variation is detected. It is finally found that the bulk of the very high energy emission must have non-dark-matter origin. | | External Publication Status: | published | | Document Type: | Article |
