abstract

Considering the mass splitting between three active neutrinos, we represent the new constraints on the sum of neutrino mass $\sum m_\nu$ by updating the anisotropic analysis of Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) scale in the CMASS and LOWZ galaxy samples from Data Release 12 of the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS DR12). Combining the BAO data of 6dFGS, MGS, LOWZ and CMASS with $\textit{Planck}$~2015 data of temperature anisotropy and polarizations of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), we find that the $95\%$ C.L. upper bounds on $\sum m_\nu$ refer to $\sum m_{\nu,\rm NH}<0.18$ eV for normal hierarchy (NH), $\sum m_{\nu,\rm IH}<0.20$ eV for inverted hierarchy (IH) and $\sum m_{\nu,\rm DH}<0.15$ eV for degenerate hierarchy (DH) respectively, and the normal hierarchy is slightly preferred than the inverted one ($\Delta \chi^2\equiv \chi^2_{\rm NH}-\chi^2_{\rm IH} \simeq -3.4$). In addition, the additional relativistic degrees of freedom and massive sterile neutrinos are neither favored at present.

Measuring neutrino mass in light of ACT DR6 and DESI DR2

astro-ph.CO · 2026-03-11 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

New ACT and DESI data yield model-dependent upper limits on sum of neutrino masses, with holographic dark energy giving the tightest bounds and a consistent preference for degenerate hierarchy.

Neutrino mass constraints in interacting dark energy models after DESI DR2

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-03 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Upper bounds on total neutrino mass in four phenomenological interacting dark energy models are derived from DESI DR2 BAO plus CMB and SNIa data, showing strong dependence on the interaction term form and statistical preference for models that tighten the bound below the oscillation lower limit.
