Abstract

If non-baryonic dark matter exists in the form of neutralinos, a neutrino flux is expected from
the decay of neutralino pair annihilation products inside heavy celestial bodies.
Data taken with the AMANDA-II neutrino telescope located at the South Pole, has been used in
a search for this indirect dark matter signal.
Results will be presented from searches for neutralinos accumulated in the Sun, using AMANDA-II data of 2001, and in the centre of the Earth, using AMANDA-II data of 2001 to 2003.
Future perspectives, achieved by higher statistics data samples acquired during recent years and by the combined AMANDA-IceCube detector, will also be discussed.
