| contents | We model and constrain the unique indirect detection signature produced by dark matter particles that annihilate through a $U(1)$ gauge symmetry into dark photons that subsequently decay into three-photon final states. We focus on scenarios where the dark photon is long-lived, and show that $γ$-ray probes of celestial objects can set strong constraints on the dark matter/baryon scattering cross section that in many cases surpass the power of current direct detection constraints, and in some cases even peer into the neutrino fog. |
