Neutrino mass constraint from CMB and its degeneracy with other cosmological parameters
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the cosmic microwave background (CMB) data of WMAP can give subelectronvolt limit on the neutrino mass: mν < 0.63 eV (95% CL). We also investigate its degeneracy with other cosmological parameters. In particular, we show the Hubble constant derived from the WMAP data decreases considerably when the neutrino mass is a few times 0.1 eV.

Joint estimation of cosmological parameters from CMB and IRAS data
Observations of large scale structure (LSS) and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) each place separate constraints on the values of cosmological parameters. We calculate a joint likelihood based on various CMB experiments and the IRAS 1.2Jy galaxy redshift survey and use this to find an overall optimum with respect to the free parameters. Our formulation self-consistently takes account of th...
متن کاملOn the Determination of Neutrino Masses and Dark Energy Evolution
We discuss the possibilities of the simultaneous determination of the neutrino masses and the evolution of dark energy from future cosmological observations such as cosmic microwave background (CMB), large scale structure (LSS) and the cross correlation between them. Recently it has been discussed that there is a degeneracy between the neutrino masses and the equation of state for dark energy. ...
متن کاملWMAP 5-year constraints on lepton asymmetry and radiation energy density: Implications for Planck
In this paper we set bounds on the radiation content of the Universe and neutrino properties by using the WMAP-5 year CMB measurements complemented with most of the existing CMB and LSS data (WMAP5+All), imposing also self-consistent BBN constraints on the primordial helium abundance. We consider lepton asymmetric cosmological models parametrized by the neutrino degeneracy parameter ξν and the ...
متن کاملDo observations prove that cosmological neutrinos are thermally distributed ?
It is usually assumed that relic neutrinos possess a Fermi-Dirac distribution, acquired during thermal equilibrium in the Early Universe. However, various mechanisms could introduce strong distortions in this distribution. We perform a Bayesian likelihood analysis including the first moments of the three active neutrino distributions as free parameters, and show that current cosmological observ...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 4 Robust Signatures of the Relic Neutrinos in CMB ∗
When the perturbations forming the acoustic peaks of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) reentered the horizon and interacted gravitationally with all the matter, neutrinos presumably comprised 41% of the universe energy. CMB experiments have reached a capacity to probe this background of relic neutrinos. I review the neutrino impact on the CMB at the onset of the acoustic oscillations. The d...
