Linear Gas Dynamics in the Expanding Universe: Why the Jeans Scale does not Matter

Astrophysics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We investigate the relationship between the dark matter and baryons in the linear regime. This relation is quantified by the so-called ``filtering scale''. We show that a simple gaussian ansatz which uses the filtering scale provides a good approximation to the exact solution.
