Deep Search for Decaying Dark Matter with XMM-Newton Blank-Sky Observations

JW Foster, M Kongsore, C Dessert, Y Park, NL Rodd… - Physical review …, 2021 - APS
Sterile neutrinos with masses in the keV range are well-motivated extensions to the
Standard Model that could explain the observed neutrino masses while also making up the …

Long-exposure NuSTAR constraints on decaying dark matter in the Galactic halo

BM Roach, S Rossland, KCY Ng, K Perez, JF Beacom… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We present two complementary NuSTAR x-ray searches for keV-scale dark matter decaying
to monoenergetic photons in the Milky Way halo. In the first, we utilize the known intensity …

Aspects of the dark dimension in cosmology

LA Anchordoqui, I Antoniadis, D Lüst - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
It was recently understood that if the swampland conjectures are confronted to experiment
they naturally point to a solution of the cosmological hierarchy problem in which the …

New constraints on sterile neutrino dark matter from NuSTAR M31 observations

KCY Ng, BM Roach, K Perez, JF Beacom, S Horiuchi… - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We use a combined 1.2 Ms of NuSTAR observations of M31 to search for x-ray lines from
sterile neutrino dark matter decay. For the first time in a NuSTAR analysis, we consistently …

Almost closing the sterile neutrino dark matter window with NuSTAR

K Perez, KCY Ng, JF Beacom, C Hersh, S Horiuchi… - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
We use NuSTAR observations of the Galactic center to search for x-ray lines from the
radiative decay of sterile neutrino dark matter. Finding no evidence of unknown lines, we set …

NuSTAR tests of sterile-neutrino dark matter: new galactic bulge observations and combined impact

BM Roach, KCY Ng, K Perez, JF Beacom, S Horiuchi… - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We analyze two dedicated NuSTAR observations with exposure∼ 190 ks located∼ 1 0°
from the Galactic plane, one above and the other below, to search for x-ray lines from the …

Production regimes for self-interacting dark matter

N Bernal, X Chu, C Garcia-Cely… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
In the context of Self-Interacting Dark Matter as a solution for the small-scale structure
problems, we consider the possibility that Dark Matter could have been produced without …

Searches for sterile neutrinos and axionlike particles from the Galactic halo with eROSITA

A Dekker, E Peerbooms, F Zimmer, KCY Ng, S Ando - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Dark matter might be made of “warm” particles, such as sterile neutrinos in the keV mass
range, which can decay into photons through mixing and are consequently detectable by x …

Constraints on the presence of a 3.5 keV dark matter emission line from Chandra observations of the Galactic centre

S Riemer-Sørensen - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2016 - aanda.org
Context. Recent findings of line emission at 3.5 keV in both individual and stacked X-ray
spectra of galaxy clusters have been speculated to have dark matter origin. Aims. If the …

Decaying dark matter search with NuSTAR deep sky observations

A Neronov, D Malyshev, D Eckert - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We present the results of the search for decaying dark matter with particle mass in the 6–40
keV range with NuSTAR deep observations of COSMOS and ECDFS empty sky fields. We …
