Dark matter (DM) from freeze-in or superWIMP production is well known to imprint non-cold DM signatures on cosmological observables. We derive constraints from Lyman-$\alpha$ forest observations for both cases, basing ourselves on a…

We study linear power spectra and formation of large scale structures in flat cosmological models with $\Lambda \ge 0$ and cold plus hot dark matter components (MLM). The hot component consists of massive neutrinos with cosmological density…
The small-scale power spectrum of the cosmological matter distribution together with other cosmological data provides a sensitive measure of the hot dark matter fraction, leading to restrictive neutrino mass limits. We extend this argument…
We use observations of the cosmological large-scale structure to derive limits on two-component hot dark matter consisting of mass-degenerate neutrinos and hadronic axions, both components having velocity dispersions corresponding to their…
