We calculate the evolution of linear density and temperature perturbations in a universe with dark matter, baryons, and radiation, from cosmic recombination until the epoch of the first galaxies. In addition to gravity, the perturbations…
The growth and virialization of spherical top-hat fluctuations, in coupled Dark Energy models, causes segregation between Dark Matter (DM) and baryons, as the gravitational infall into the potential well proceeds more slowly for the baryons…
