Best fit model for the data sets used in the analysis (SDSS+HIRES+MIKE) shown as green curves. We also show a WDM model that has the best fit values of the green model except for the WDM (thermal relic) mass of 2 kev (red dashed curves). These data span about two orders of magnitude in scale and the period Gyrs after the Big Bang. From this plot is is apparent how the WDM model does not fit the data at small scales and high redshift.

The volume remains intact, but the coarse grained 70phase space density decreases in the dense regions Drewes et al (2016)50 Dark matter mass MDM [kev] which are provided by observations of the stellar dynamics in the smallest structures, dwarf spheroidal galaxies, [378] M /pc3 Q = ( ). (4.4) (km/s) The galaxies are compact and dim with mass strongly dominated even in the central part by the DM component. Hence, one has 0 = MX nx with nx standing for the number density of the DM particles in the galaxy center. For the spheroidal dwarfs one can substitute hvk2 i = hv2 i/3, where hv2 i is the average squared velocity. For the DM particles with average 2 hv2 i. squared momentum hp2 i = MX Collecting all terms together we arrive at n 2 (p, X, t ), Q = 3 Mangle' 3sin M f (2 ) Figure 19. Limits on the mixing as a function of sterile neutrino DM mass. The hp i in the last equality we used the phase spaceworkshop, distribution of DM particles in the galaxy Kenji Kadota (IBS) 2018 bounds are based onwhere the works [270,YKIS 449, 466, 469,Feb 480, 499, 500, 500, 501, 503, 504, 776, 780 center, x ' 0 at present, t = t. Then from eq. (4.3) we obtain the lower limit on the DM particle mass known as the Tremaine Gunn-type bound [74], 784, , 791, 792, 794, 795, 854].
