Constraining Warm Dark Matter With Cosmic Shear Power Spectra
Lelia Foutch edited this page 6 days ago


We investigate potential constraints from cosmic shear on the darkish matter particle mass, assuming all darkish matter is made up of light thermal relic particles. Given the theoretical uncertainties involved in making cosmological predictions in such warm dark matter situations we use analytical matches to linear heat dark matter power spectra and examine (i) the halo model using a mass perform evaluated from these linear Wood Ranger Power Shears website spectra and (ii) an analytical match to the non-linear evolution of the linear energy spectra. We optimistically ignore the competing impact of baryons for this work. We find strategy (ii) to be conservative compared to method (i). We consider cosmological constraints utilizing these methods, marginalising over 4 different cosmological parameters. Using the extra conservative technique we find that a Euclid-like weak lensing survey together with constraints from the Planck cosmic microwave background mission major Wood Ranger Power Shears USA Wood Ranger Power Shears features Wood Ranger Power Shears USA Shears specs anisotropies might achieve a decrease restrict on the particle mass of 2.5 keV.


In the second half of the twentieth century, two competing theories for the growth of cosmological structure have been proposed. In the chilly darkish matter (CDM) paradigm (Peebles (1982)
