摘要：We expand on the recently reported detections of the gamma-ray resonant absorption along the
line of sight toward gamma-ray bright quasars (QSOs), like 3C279. We propose to use this novel
gamma-ray absorption method to study the Dark Matter distribution in the Milky Way, as well as
in the Local Group.
Properties of the absorber that was detected on the sight lines towards gamma-ray bright QSOs at
zero redshift are discussed. We compare our results with the expected Dark Matter distributions
in the halo of Milky Way, that were simulated in boundaries of different CDM models.
Application of this new method to study evolution of CDM in the QSO host galaxies, and of
baryons distribution in the halo of galaxies in the Local Universe is proposed.
