In this review I summarize results of these studies and especially the status of the detection of new emission line at ~3.55 keV in spectra of nearby galaxies and galaxy clusters, overview possible interpretations of this line, including an intriguing connection with radiatively decaying dark matter, and show directions achievable with existing and upcoming X-ray cosmic missions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-10-01T18:23:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "x-ray spectra", "galaxy clusters", "observational studies claim detection", "dark matter", "upcoming x-ray cosmic missions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151000358I", "inspire": 1395598 } } }
