keV scale sterile neutrinos are excellent warm dark matter candidates. In the early Universe, these can be produced from oscillations and scatterings of active neutrinos. However, in the absence of any new physics, this mechanism is in severe tension with observations from X-ray searches. In this work, we show that secret self-interactions of activ...

... One way to test this scenario is to search for the fluxes of SM particles produced by the evaporation of PBHs. Limits from current data exclude the portion of parameter space in blue in fig. 3 Taken from [29]. Upper limits on the couplings of ALPs with photons from Fermi-LAT observations. ...
... For instance, a sterile neutrino can decay into an active neutrino and a photon, a process occurring through the mixing with active neutrinos. Prospects for detection with eROSITA have been presented in [29] (see also [35] for the prospects of X-ray telescopes for DM signals from dwarf spheroidal galaxies). This experiment covers the energy range 0.3-10 keV, and has an excellent energy resolution, an important requirement to look for line signals. ...
... This experiment covers the energy range 0.3-10 keV, and has an excellent energy resolution, an important requirement to look for line signals. Exploiting the full sky coverage of eROSITA, [29] focuses on signals from the galactic halo, considering latitudes |b| > 20 degrees. The sensitivity reach for sterile neutrinos is presented in fig. ...
