There is, however, much leeway in the initial conditions within the CDM framework. We advocate a re-examination of the CDM model, taking into account modest variation of parameters from their canonical values. We find that CDM models with $n=0.8$--0.9 and $h=0.45$--0.50 can fit the available data. Our ``best fit'' CDM model has $n=0.9$, $h=0.45$ and $C_2^{T}/C_2^{S}=0.7$. We discuss the current state of observations which could definitely rule out this model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1995-08-21T20:41:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cold dark matter", "cdm model", "account modest variation", "parameters", "best fit" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1093/mnras/276.1.69L" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 397894 } } }
