Cosmological constraints on neutrino plus axion hot dark matter: Update after WMAP-5

Astrophysics 2010-05-12 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We update our previous constraints on two-component hot dark matter (axions and neutrinos), including the recent WMAP 5-year data release. Marginalising over sum m_nu provides m_a < 1.02 eV (95% C.L.) for the axion mass. In the absence of axions we find sum m_nu < 0.63 eV (95% C.L.).
