We show that a mass-varying neutrino model driven by scalar field dark energy relaxes the existing upper bound on the current neutrino mass to ${\sum m_\nu < 0.72}$ eV. We extend the standard $\Lambda$ cold dark matter model by introducing…

We present a new upper limit of sum m_{\nu} eV < 0.28 (95% CL) on the sum of the neutrino masses assuming a flat LCDM cosmology. This relaxes slightly to sum m_{\nu} < 0.34 and sum m_{\nu} < 0.47 when quasi non-linear scales are removed and…
