Response to a comment on Dessert et al. "The dark matter interpretation of the 3.5 keV line is inconsistent with blank-sky observations"

Understand

The dark matter explanation of the 3.5 keV line is strongly disfavored by our work in Dessert et al.

• 2020.
• Boyarsky et al.
• 2020 questions that conclusion: modeling additional background lines is claimed to weaken the limit sufficiently to re-allow a dark matter interpretation.
