Sterile neutrinos may be one of the best Warm Dark Matter candidates we have today. Both lower and upper bounds on the mass of the sterile neutrino come from astronomical observations. We show that the proper inclusion of the neutrino momentum distribution reduces the allowed region to be 2.6 keV < m < 5 keV for the simplest models. A search for a spectral line with E=m/2 is thus more interesting than ever before.

  1. High resolution Lyman-{\alpha} forest constraints on dark matter-neutrino scattering

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    The Lyman-alpha forest constrains dark matter-neutrino scattering to u_nu_chi < 1.5e-8 (95% C.L.), excluding previously claimed hints of a non-zero interaction.

  2. Early Growth of Structure in Warm Wave Dark Matter

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0

    Derives suppression of adiabatic perturbations and scale-dependent growth of isocurvature power in warm wave dark matter, verifies with Schrödinger-Poisson simulations, and proposes an analytic halo mass function.
