Abstract

I discuss here the main physical constraints on Dark Matter particles that can be obtained by the study of the astrophysical signals produced by their annihilation within Dwarf Galaxies. The present results are obtained in the framework of neutralino Dark Matter scenarios and under the assumption that Dwarf Galaxies are dominated by Dark Matter.
