As such they represent excellent candidates for indirect detection and in this talk I will demonstrate how to exploit this information to search for dark matter using the Fermi telescope. In particular I will outline how to map from an observed baryonic galaxy to its underlying dark matter distribution and a demonstration that our methods work in a simulated N-body environment.
