Evidence against the Sciama Model of Radiative Decay of Massive Neutrinos

We report on spectral observations of the night sky in the band around 900 Å where the emission line in the Sciama model of radiatively decaying massive neutrinos would be present. The data were obtained with a high-resolution, high-sensitivity spectrometer flown on the Spanish satellite MINISAT. The observed emission is far less intense than that expected in the Sciama model.
