Deep XMM Observations of Draco rule out a dark matter decay origin for the 3.5 keV line. Jeltema, T. E. & Profumo, S. 2015. cite arxiv:1512.01239Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, submitted to MNRAS
Paper abstract bibtex We searched for an X-ray line at energies around 3.5 keV in deep, ~1.6 Msec XMM-Newton observations of the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Draco. No line was found. The data in this energy range are completely consistent with a simple power law X-ray background, dominated by particle background, plus instrumental lines; the addition of a ~3.5 keV line feature gives no improvement to the fit. The corresponding upper limit on the line flux rules out a dark matter decay origin for the 3.5 keV line found in observations of clusters of galaxies and in the Galactic Center at greater than 99% C.L..
