The Potential of the Dwarf Galaxy Triangulum II for Dark Matter Indirect
  Detection
  The recently discovered object Triangulum II appears to be an ultra faint
dwarf spheroidal galaxy which may be one of the most dark matter dominated
objects yet known. In this work we try to estimate the potential of this object
for studies of the indirect detection of self-annihilating dark matter by
obtaining its astrophysical J-factor. We perform a basic estimate of the
velocity gradient to look for signs of the halo being tidally disrupted but
show that the observed value is statistically compatible with zero velocity
gradient. We solve the spherical Jeans equation using Markov Chain Monte Carlo
(MCMC) engine GreAT and the Jeans analysis part of the CLUMPY package. We find
the results point towards a very large J-factor, appearing to make Triangulum
II one of the best targets in the search for dark matter. However we stress
that the very small number of line of sight velocities currently available for
this object make follow up studies essential.
