Title: Recent updates on the morphology of the Galactic Center excess
Abstract: The Galactic Center Excess (GCE) detected by Fermi-LAT resembles a signal of WIMP dark matter annihilation, although it may also be attributed to a population of millisecond pulsars in the inner Milky Way. I will discuss recent updates in studying the morphology of the GCE. I will show that millisecond pulsars contribute to the gamma-ray sky in various regions. Furthermore, I will discuss dark matter search with Fermi-LAT beyond the mass range of WIMPs.
