Constraints on the Cosmological Relativistic Energy Density | | Andrew R. Zentner
; Terry P. Walker

24 Oct 2001 | | Journal: | Phys.Rev. D65 (2002) 063506 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | The Ohio State University | | Abstract: | We discuss bounds on the cosmological relativistic energy density as a function of redshift, reviewing the big bang nucleosynthesis and cosmic microwave background bounds, updating bounds from large scale structure, and introducing a new bound from the magnitude-redshift relation of Type Ia supernovae. We conclude that the standard and well-motivated assumption that relativistic energy is negligible during recent epochs is not necessitated by extant data. We then demonstrate the utility of these bounds by constraining the mass and lifetime of a hypothetical massive big bang relic particle. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0110533 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
