Dark Matter in Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies and Indirect Detection: A
  Review
  Indirect dark matter searches targeting dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs)
have matured rapidly during the past decade. This has been because of the
substantial increase in kinematic data sets from the dSphs, the new dSphs that
have been discovered, and the operation of the Fermi-LAT and many ground-based
gamma-ray experiments. Here we review the analysis methods that have been used
to determine the dSph dark matter distributions, in particular the "J-factors,"
comparing and contrasting them, and detailing the underlying systematics that
still affect the analysis. We discuss prospects for improving measurements of
dark matter distributions, and how these interplay with future indirect dark
matter searches.
