Abstract

Surprisingly stringent bounds on sterile neutrino dark matter are obtained by searching for spectral lines from sterile neutrino dark matter in the 25---40 keV mass range using data from Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). The constraints represent an order of magnitude improvement over previous results.
