The St<strong>and</strong>ard Model of<br />

Cosmology: LCDM<br />

CDM Paradigme<br />

• 1.- The DM fluctuation spectrum at recombination is detemined by a small<br />

number of physical paramenters.<br />

• 2.- After recombination, the amplitude of the baryonic fluctuations rapidly<br />

grows <strong>to</strong> match that of the DM fluctuations.<br />

• 3.- Smaller-mass fluctutions grow <strong>to</strong> nonlineartity <strong>and</strong> virialize <strong>and</strong> then are<br />

hirarchically clustered within successively larger bound systems.<br />

10 8−12 M⊙<br />

• 4.- Ordinary matter in bound systems of <strong>to</strong>tal mass cools rapidly<br />

enough within the DM halos <strong>to</strong> form galaxies, while larger mass fluctutations<br />

form clusters<br />
