Lyman-α constraints on warm and on warm–plus–cold dark matter models
We revisit Lyman-α bounds on the dark matter mass in Λ Warm Dark Matter (ΛWDM) models, and derive new bounds in the case of mixed Cold plus Warm models (ΛCWDM), using a set up which is a good approximation for several theoretically well-motivated dark matter models. We combine WMAP5 results with two different Lyman-α data sets, including observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We pay a ...
متن کاملLyman-alpha Forest Constraints on the Mass of Warm Dark Matter and the Shape of the Linear Power Spectrum
High resolution N-body simulations of cold dark matter (CDM) models predict that galaxies and clusters have cuspy halos with excessive substructure. Observations reveal smooth halos with central density cores. One possible resolution of this conflict is that the dark matter is warm (WDM); this will suppress the power spectrum on small scales. The Lyman-alpha forest is a powerful probe of the li...
متن کاملNew Constraints on “ Cool ” Dark Matter
It has been suggested that a sterile neutrino ν s which mixes with standard neutrinos can form nonthermal " cool " Dark Matter if its mass and mixing angle fall in the ranges 0.1 keV < ∼ m s < ∼ 10 keV and 10 −10 < ∼ sin 2 θ < ∼ 10 −4 , respectively. We point out that the required mixing makes these heavy neutrinos unstable. The dominant decay mode is into three light neutrinos, but the most st...
متن کاملMassive sterile neutrinos as warm Dark Matter
We show that massive sterile neutrinos mixed with the ordinary ones may be produced in the early universe in the right amount to be natural warm dark matter particles. Their mass should be below 40 keV and the corresponding mixing angles sin22θ > 10−11 for mixing with νμ or ντ , while mixing with νe is slightly stronger bounded with mass less than 30 keV.
متن کاملWarm Dark Matter Model of Galaxy Formation
Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models of galaxy formation had been remarkably successful to explain a number of observations in the past decade. However, with both the theoretical modeling and the observations being improved, CDM models have been very recently shown to have excessive clustering on the sub-galactic scale. Here I discuss a solution, based on our high-resolution numerical simulations, to ...
