Diffuse Ionization in the Milky Way and Sterile Neutrinos
R. N. Mohapatra, D. W. Sciama
We propose the radiative decay of sterile neutrinos which fill a fraction of the halo dark matter with a mass of 27.4 eV and lifetime of sec. as a way to explain the…

Are Neutrino Oscillations Compatible with the Decaying Neutrino Theory for the Ionisation of Hydrogen in the Interstellar Medium?
D. W. Sciama
Recent Super-Kamiokande data have greatly strengthened the hypothesis that the atmospheric neutrino anomaly is mainly due to nearly maximal oscillations between and either $ν…

Decaying Neutrinos and the Flattening of the Galactic Halo
D. W. Sciama
The recently constructed Dehnen-Binney set of mass models for the Galaxy is used to show that the decaying neutrino theory for the ionisation of the interstellar medium (Sciama 199…
