Creation of the X-ray sky maps and their application for a search of the dark matter decay line
Abstract
We describe a creation of the sky maps in 2-5 and 5-10 keV range using public database of observations of X-ray cosmic observatory XMM-Newton. Considering as an example a search of the dark matter decay line we show how the obtained sky maps can be used for actual astronomical tasks.
