abstract
We discuss numerous mechanisms for production of sterile neutrinos, which can account for all or a fraction of dark matter, and which can range from warm to effectively cold dark matter, depending on the cosmological scenario. We investigate production by Higgs boson decay, $(B-L)$ gauge boson production at high temperature, as well as production via resonant and nonresonant neutrino oscillations. We calculate the effects on structure formation in these models, some for the first time. If two populations of sterile neutrinos, one warm and one cold, were produced by different mechanisms, or if sterile neutrinos account for only a fraction of dark matter, while the remainder is some other cold dark matter particle, the resulting multi-component dark matter may alleviate some problems in galaxy formation. We examine the X-ray constraints and the candidate signal at 3.5 keV. Finally, we also show that the $\sigma_8$ problem can be a signature of fractional dark matter in the form of sterile neutrinos in several mechanisms.

Tau lepton asymmetry by sterile neutrino emission -- Moving beyond one-zone supernova models
keV-mass sterile neutrinos mixing with tau neutrinos can generate a tau lepton asymmetry larger than 0.15, and including the dynamical feedback relaxes supernova bounds on sterile neutrino mixing.

Warm dark matter chills out: constraints on the halo mass function and the free-streaming length of dark matter with 8 quadruple-image strong gravitational lenses
Eight quadruple-image lenses bound the dark matter half-mode mass to below 10^7.8 solar masses, corresponding to a thermal relic mass above 5.2 keV, with substructure abundance consistent with cold dark matter.

JWST lensed quasar dark matter survey IV: Stringent warm dark matter constraints from the joint reconstruction of extended lensed arcs and quasar flux ratios
Adding extended lensed arcs to quasar flux ratios in 28 JWST lenses tightens the dark-matter free-streaming limit to m_hm < 10^7.4 M⊙ (galacticus prior) and gives the most precise lensing measurement of subhalo abundance.

Origin of cosmological neutrino mass bounds: background $\textit{versus}$ perturbations
The CMB bound on the sum of neutrino masses comes mostly from the background energy density of massive neutrinos, not from their free-streaming effects.

Enhanced quantum sensing of gravitational acceleration constant
Delocalized quantum probes in free fall can estimate g with a quantum Fisher information that grows quadratically with the wavepacket separation, and position measurements retain a useful fraction of this bound.
