Description

A well-motivated warm dark matter candidate, sterile neutrinos, can radiatively decay and emit X-rays detectable in observations of large dark matter aggregations such as galaxies and clusters of galaxies. I will review the current and past efforts on searching for decaying dark matter in galaxy clusters and galaxies with a special focus on the 3.5 keV line. Additionally, I will summarize how the recent constraints can be improved using the future X-ray observations.
