Constraints On Dark Matter From Reionization

Understand

This conference proceedings paper provides a short summary of the constraints presented in Menci et al.

• 2016, 2017 on the mass of thermal WDM candidates, and of the results presented in Romanello et al.
• 2021 on how Reionization scenarios are affected by early galaxy formation in WDM cosmologies.
• The abundance of galaxies in the epoch of reionization ($z>$6) is dependent on fundamental cosmological parameters, most importantly on the properties of dark matter, such that it can be used as a powerful cosmological probe.
