Note: Interesting two papers; I am a bit confused about the framing of the headline result considering the fairly fragile tension (as described in the text). Need to read more carefully.

L. Qin, J. Wang, C. Yang et al.
arXiv:2606.05738  ·  astro-ph.HE
Why: Joint Fermi-LAT + LHAASO ALP constraints from Mrk 421---potentially methodologically interesting.

R. Pucha, S. Juneau, M. Mezcua et al. (DESI Collaboration)
arXiv:2606.02699  ·  astro-ph.GA
Why: Relevant for gamma-ray searches in dwarf AGN.
2 Jun
The Delta Resonance in the Neutrino Sky
A. Khatee Zathul, K. Fang, F. Halzen, D. Hooper
arXiv:2606.00249  ·  astro-ph.HE
Why: Proposes that the ~30 TeV break in IceCube's diffuse neutrino spectrum arises from the Δ-resonance in p–γ interactions, which would also lower the neutrino-source contribution to the isotropic gamma-ray background.
Possible High-Energy Neutrino Emission from Dark Matter Annihilation in the Disrupting Dwarf Galaxy Boötes III
S. Ji, Z. Wang
arXiv:2606.01853  ·  astro-ph.HE
Why: Candidate high-energy neutrino signal from dark matter annihilation in the disrupting dwarf Boötes III, with a post-trial significance of 3.1σ pointing to a ~26.5 TeV dark matter mass.
May 2026
29 May
Why: Fermi-LAT Collaboration 2017egm detection paper, following arXiv:2605.29897. My own work, arXiv:2604.16595, comes to similar conclusions on the engine parameters, though with a different approach to the time selection.
27 May
Why: LVK results / reference analysis / data products for the second part of the fourth observing run (O4b).
Strong Constraints on Millisecond Pulsar Injection Spectra from Fermi-LAT Observations of the Galactic Center
J. Koechler, P. De la Torre Luque, M. Di Mauro
arXiv:2605.26220  ·  astro-ph.HE
Why: The expected follow-up to arXiv:2605.22913 - with all the caveats from that paper.
Constraints on Dynamical Dark Energy from Multiple Probes in the Full Dark Energy Survey
DES Collaboration
arXiv:2605.27221  ·  astro-ph.CO
Why: Keeping up with the state of evolving dark energy: full six-year DES combining SN + BAO + 3×2pt results in a 2.2σ deviation from ΛCDM from a single survey, rising to 3σ when combined with DESI DR2 BAO and CMB.
26 May
Electromagnetic Signatures From Primordial Black Holes in the Solar System
A. P. Klipfel, D. I. Kaiser
arXiv:2605.26204  ·  hep-ph
Why: Detection forecasts for signals from asteroid-mass PBH transits (AMEGO-X) and PBH explosions in the outer Solar System (HAWC, LHAASO, Fermi). Nice to see this mass window probed concretely --- have to read in more detail.
Legacy analysis of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies: an update
A. Circiello et al. (Fermi-LAT Collaboration)
arXiv:2605.25586  ·  astro-ph.HE
Why: An update to McDaniel et al. (2024), stricter cuts, different source class, PS map modeling.
M. Di Mauro (Fermi-LAT Collaboration)
arXiv:2605.22913  ·  astro-ph.HE
Why: An upgraded LAT analysis of the GCE across 9 IEMs that pushes residuals to ≲10% and finds a spherical gNFW (γ≈1.15) preferred over NB+BB bulge templates. At face value, interesting result. I am curious about the iterative "find_sources" step, that (I think) is run with the NFW in place with extensions allowed up to 2 deg---these are comparable to the angular scales of the boxy bulge wings for example.
H. Zandinejad et al.
arXiv:2605.22739  ·  astro-ph.HE
Why: A nice step toward 3D Galactic CR tomography beyond traditional ring analyses, though the physical interpretation of the 4–6 kpc enhancement remains assumption-dependent.
