Young Pulsars and the Galactic Center GeV Gamma-ray Excess
  Studies of Fermi data indicate an excess of GeV gamma rays around the
Galactic center (GC), possibly due to dark matter. We show that young gamma-ray
pulsars can yield a similar signal. First, a high concentration of GC
supernovae naturally leads to a population of kicked pulsars symmetric about
the GC. Second, while very-young pulsars with soft spectra reside near the
Galactic plane, pulsars with spectra that have hardened with age accumulate at
larger angles. This combination, including unresolved foreground pulsars,
traces the morphology and spectrum of the Excess.
