✦ Synopsis

Ten years after Paczynski's proposal to use gravitational microlensing as a tool for discovering dark stars and four years after the identification of the first candidate events, searches for microlensing events have opened a new window in astronomy and started to yield quantitative information on the contribution of dark compact objects to the dark halo of the Galaxy. A review of the results obtained so far is presented, along with recent highlights in the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud.

Dark Matter (DM) as a weakly interacting massive particle could annihilate or decay and give rise to high energy gamma-rays. Then an indirect search for Dark Matter is possible by means of the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi satellite. A relatively large signal is expected from the regions w
