abstract

We use a large suite of N-body simulations to study departures from universality in halo abundances and clustering in cosmologies with non-vanishing neutrino masses. To this end, we study how the halo mass function and halo bias factors depend on the scaling variable $\sigma^2(M,z)$, the variance of the initial matter fluctuation field, rather than on halo mass $M$ and redshift $z$ themselves. We show that using the variance of the cold dark matter rather than the total mass field, i.e., $\sigma^2_{cdm}(M,z)$ rather than $\sigma^2_{m}(M,z)$, yields more universal results. Analysis of halo bias yields similar conclusions: When large-scale halo bias is defined with respect to the cold dark matter power spectrum, the result is both more universal, and less scale- or $k$-dependent. These results are used extensively in Papers I and III of this series.

Dark Matter with a Drag at Low Redshift

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

iDCDM adds two parameters to LambdaCDM so that dark matter decay produces late-time interacting radiation, yielding a distinctive low-redshift suppression of structure growth while leaving BBN and primary CMB unchanged.

    N-body simulations show the log Compton-y distribution mean decreases linearly with neutrino fraction (slope ~10 f_ν) and tSZ power spectrum scales as power law in σ8^cb (exponents 7.3-8.1), with ∑m_ν=0.16 or 0.32 eV fitting Planck data better than massless case.
