Almost closing the νMSM sterile neutrino dark matter window with NuSTAR

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 limits on the sterile neutrino mass and mixing angle. In most of the mass range 10–50 keV, these are now the strongest li...
