Mixed Cold-hot Dark Matter Model with Falling and Quasi-flat Initial Perturbation Spectra

چکیده
The mixed cold-hot dark matter cosmological model (CHDM) with Ωtot = 1 and a falling power-law initial spectrum of Gaussian adiabatic perturbations (n > 1) is tested using recent obserbational data. It is shown that its fit to the data becomes worse with the growth of n− 1, and may be considered as unreasonable for n > 1.1 for all possible values of the Hubble constant. Thus, the CHDM model with a falling initial spectrum is worse than the same model with the approximately flat (|n − 1| < 0.1) spectrum. On the other hand, the CHDM model provides a rather good fit to the data if n lies in the range (0.9− 1.0), the Hubble constant H0 < 60 km/s/Mpc (H0 < 55 for n = 1) and the neutrino energy density Ων < 0.25. So, the CHDM model provides the best possibility for the realization of the simplest variants of the inflationary scenario having the effective slope n ≈ (0.95 − 0.97) between galaxy and horizon scales, including a modest contribution of primordial gravitational wave background to large-angle ∆T/T fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background (resulting in the increase of their total rms amplitude by (5−10)%) expected in some variants. A classification of cosmological models according to the number of fundamental parameters used to fit observational data is presented, too.

Gauge Invariant Density and Temperature Perturbations in the Quasi–Newtonian Formulation
We here give an improved formalism for calculating the evolution of density fluctuations and temperature perturbations in flat universes. Our equations are general enough to treat the perturbations in collisionless relics like massive neutrinos. We find this formulation to be simpler to use than gauge dependent and other gauge–invariant formalisms. We show how to calculate temperature fluctuati...
متن کاملHot Dark Matter in Cosmology
1 Historical Summary Cosmological dark matter in the form of neutrinos with masses of up to a few electron volts is known as hot dark matter. In 1979-83, this appeared to be perhaps the most plausible dark matter candidate. Such HDM models of cosmological structure formation led to a top-down formation scenario, in which superclusters of galaxies are the first objects to form, with galaxies and...
متن کاملCosmological Perturbation Theory in the Synchronous and Conformal Newtonian Gauges
This paper presents a systematic treatment of the linear theory of scalar gravitational perturbations in the synchronous gauge and the conformal Newtonian (or longitudinal) gauge. It differs from others in the literature in that we give, in both gauges, a complete discussion of all particle species that are relevant to any flat cold dark matter (CDM), hot dark matter (HDM), or CDM+HDM models (i...
متن کاملCurrent Status of Cosmological Models with Mixed Dark Matter
An analysis of cosmological mixed dark matter models in spatially flat Friedmann Universe with zero Λterm is presented. We argue that the introduction of cosmic gravity waves helps to satisfy observational constraints. The number of parameters is equal to 5, they are (1) σ8, the dispersion of the mass fluctuations in the sphere with radius 8hMpc, (2) n, the slope of the density perturbation spe...
متن کاملCold + Hot Dark Matter after Super-kamiokande
The recent atmospheric neutrino data from Super-Kamiokande provide strong evidence of neutrino oscillations and therefore of non-zero neutrino mass. These data imply a lower limit on the hot dark matter (i.e., light neutrino) contribution to the cosmological density Ων > ∼ 0.001 — almost as much as that of all the stars in the universe — and permit higher Ων . The “standard” COBE-normalized cri...
