Abstract

We study some effects the inclusion of the radiation energy component in the universe, Omega_r, can have on several quantities of interest for the large-scale structure of the universe in a LCDM cosmological simulation; started at a very high redshift (z=500). In particular we compute the power spectrum density, the halo mass function, and the concentration-mass relation for haloes. We find that Omega_r has an important contribution in the long-term nonlinear evolution of structures in the universe. For instance, a lower matter density power, by approx 50%, in all scales is obtained when compared with a simulation without the radiation term. Also, haloes formed with the Omega_r taken into account are approx 20% less concentrated than when not included in the Hubble function.

Comments

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to the use an incorrect equation for perturbations including radiation. The linear part of the spectrum should follow the P(k)
