Hints, neutrino bounds and WDM constraints from SDSS DR14 Lyman-α and Planck full-survey data
read the original abstract
The Ly-$\alpha$ forest 1D flux power spectrum is a powerful probe of several cosmological parameters. Assuming a $\Lambda$CDM cosmology including massive neutrinos, we find that the latest SDSS DR14 BOSS and eBOSS Ly-$\alpha$ forest data is in very good agreement with current weak lensing constraints on $(\Omega_m, \sigma_8)$ and has the same small level of tension with Planck. We did not identify a systematic effect in the data analysis that could explain this small tension, but we show that it can be reduced in extended cosmological models where the spectral index is not the same on the very different times and scales probed by CMB and Ly-$\alpha$ data. A particular case is that of a $\Lambda$CDM model including a running of the spectral index on top of massive neutrinos. With combined Ly-$\alpha$ and Planck data, we find a slight (3$\sigma$) preference for negative running, $\alpha_s= -0.010 \pm 0.004$ (68% CL). Neutrino mass bounds are found to be robust against different assumptions. In the $\Lambda$CDM model with running, we find $\sum m_\nu <0.11$ eV at the 95% confidence level for combined Ly-$\alpha$ and Planck (temperature and polarisation) data, or $\sum m_\nu < 0.09$ eV when adding CMB lensing and BAO data. We further provide strong and nearly model-independent bounds on the mass of thermal warm dark matter. For a conservative configuration consisting of SDSS data restricted to $z<4.5$ combined with XQ-100 \lya data, we find $m_X > 5.3\;\mathrm{keV}$ (95\%CL).

Cosmic Collider Gravitational Waves sourced by Right-handed Neutrino production from Bubbles: Testing Seesaw, Leptogenesis and Dark Matter
Bubble collisions in a seesaw model produce right-handed neutrinos that source novel gravitational waves detectable by LISA, ET, and LVK while allowing the lightest RHN to explain dark matter or enable leptogenesis.

DESI 2024 VI: Cosmological Constraints from the Measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations
First-year DESI BAO data are consistent with flat LambdaCDM and, when combined with CMB, show a 2.5-3.9 sigma preference for evolving dark energy (w0 > -1, wa < 0) that strengthens with certain supernova datasets.
