摘要:

我们提出的热暗物质(WDM)粒子的质量的限制来自55个高分辨率HIRES光谱在2.0 < z < 6.4莱曼α通量功率谱。从HIRES谱中,我们得到了一个下限,如果WDM由早期退耦的热遗迹组成,则mwdm > 1.2keV(2 σ),而对于不育中微子,mwdm > 5.6keV(2 σ)。加上Sloan数字巡天Lyman α通量谱,得到了热遗迹和无菌中微子的mwdm > 4keV和mwdm > 28 keV(2 σ)。这些结果改善了以前的限制因素2。

英文摘要:

We present constraints on the mass of warm dark matter (WDM) particles derived from the Lyman-alpha flux power spectrum of 55 high- resolution HIRES spectra at 2.0 < z < 6.4. From the HIRES spectra, we obtain a lower limit of mwdm > 1.2 keV 2 sigma if the WDM consists of early decoupled thermal relics and mwdm > 5.6 keV (2 sigma) for sterile neutrinos. Adding the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Lyman-alpha flux power spectrum, we get mwdm > 4 keV and mwdm > 28 keV (2 sigma) for thermal relics and sterile neutrinos. These results improve previous constraints by a factor two.
