Cosmological and astrophysical observations provide increasing evidence of
the existence of dark matter in our Universe. Dark matter particles with a mass
above a few GeV can be captured by the Sun, accumulate in the core, annihilate,
and produce high energy neutrinos either directly or by subsequent decays of
Standard Model particles. We investigate the prospects for indirect dark matter
detection in the IceCube/DeepCore neutrino telescope and its capabilities to
determine the dark matter mass.
