Dark matter in the Milky Way may annihilate directly into gamma rays, producing a monoenergetic spectral line. Therefore, detecting such a signature would be strong evidence for dark matter annihilation or decay. We search for spectral lines in the Fermi Large Area Telescope observations of the Milky Way halo in the energy range 200 MeV to 500 GeV using analysis methods from our most recent line searches. The main improvements relative to previous works are our use of 5.8 years of data reprocessed with the Pass 8 event-level analysis and the additional data resulting from the modified observing strategy designed to increase exposure of the Galactic center region. We searched in five sky regions selected to optimize sensitivity to different theoretically-motivated dark matter scenarios and find no significant detections. In addition to presenting the results from our search for lines, we also investigate the previously reported tentative detection of a line at 133 GeV using the new Pass 8 data.

A Tentative Double Excess in the Gamma-Ray Spectrum of the Fermi Blazar 4FGL J0604.9-0000
Tentative double Gaussian excess at 1.59 GeV (2.6σ) and 11.15 GeV (3.7σ) in Fermi-LAT spectrum of blazar 4FGL J0604.9-0000, combined TS ≃ 27 (~4.3σ local).

Minimal Dark Matter in the sky: updated Indirect Detection probes
Fermi-LAT data exclude the lower end of the Minimal Dark Matter 5-plet thermal mass window, while about 600 hours of CTAO observations of Ursa Major II could probe the central mass.

Probing Double-Peaked Gamma-Ray Spectra from Primordial Black Holes with Next-Generation Gamma-Ray Experiments
A likelihood forecast shows e-ASTROGAM could, in parts of the f1-f2 plane, distinguish double-peaked from single-peaked PBH gamma-ray spectra in the 1e15 to 1e17 g mass window.
