DESCRIPTION:The identity of dark matter remains unknown despite considerab
 le efforts to find WIMPS at colliders and direct detection experiments. On
 e alternative candidate particle is the sterile neutrino\, which forms par
 t of a theory that\,in addition to dark matter\, can explain neutrino mass
 es and baryogenesis. It would decay into X-rays\, and thus constitutes a p
 otential source of the 3.5keV feature reportedly observed in the Galactic 
 Centre\, M31\, and clusters of galaxies. It would also behave as warm dark
  matter\, with consequences for the abundance and properties of the Milky 
 Way satellite galaxies. In this talk I will discuss the effect of the ster
 ile neutrino properties on the Milky Way satellites and provide a brief up
 date on the 3.5keV line.\n
