چکیده

We show that growing neutrino models, in which the growing neutrino mass stops the dynamical evolution of a dark energy scalar field, lead to a substantial neutrino clustering on the scales of superclusters. Nonlinear neutrino lumps form at redshift z ≈ 1 and could partially drag the clustering of dark matter. If observed, large scale non-linear structures could be an indication for a new attractive force stronger than gravity and mediated by the ‘cosmon’ dark energy scalar field.

Growing Neutrino Cosmology

In growing neutrino models, the neutrino mass increases in time and stops the dynamical evolution of a dark energy scalar field, thus explaining the ‘why now’ problem. A new attractive force, mediated by the ‘cosmon’ scalar field, makes non relativistic neutrino form lumps on the scales of superclusters and beyond. Nonlinear neutrino lumps are predicted to form at redshift z ≈ 1 and, if observe...

WMAP data favor neutrino mass and a coupling between Cold Dark Matter and Dark Energy ?

Within the frame of cosmologies where Dark Energy (DE) is a self–interacting scalar field, we allow for a CDM–DE coupling and non–zero neutrino masses, simultaneously. In their 0–0 version, i.e. in the absence of coupling and neutrino mass, these cosmologies provide an excellent fit to WMAP, SNIa and deep galaxy sample spectra, at least as good as ΛCDM. When the new degrees of freedom are open,...

Dynamical Dark Energy model parameters with or without massive neutrinos

We use WMAP5 and other cosmological data to constrain model parameters in quintessence cosmologies, focusing also on their shift when we allow for non–vanishing neutrino masses. The Ratra–Peebles (RP) and SUGRA potentials are used here, as examples of slowly or fastly varying state parameter w(a). Both potentials depend on an energy scale Λ. Here we confirm the results of previous analysis with...

Direct X-ray Constraints on Sterile Neutrino Warm Dark Matter

Warm dark matter (WDM) might more easily account for small scale clustering measurements than the heavier particles typically invoked in Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmologies. In this paper, we consider a ΛWDM cosmology in which sterile neutrinos νs, with a mass ms of roughly 1-100 keV, are the dark matter. We use the diffuse X-ray spectrum (total minus resolved point source emission) of the An...

Power Spectra for Cold Dark Matter and its Variants

The bulk of recent cosmological research has focused on the adiabatic cold dark matter model and its simple extensions. Here we present an accurate tting formula that describes the matter transfer functions of all common variants, including mixed dark matter models. The result is a function of wavenumber, time, and six cosmological parameters: the massive neutrino density, number of neutrino sp...
