Effect of ULAs on the matter power spectrum recovered assuming the Planck Collaboration VI (2020) cosmological values (ΩΛ ≈ 0.7, Ωm + Ωa ≈ 0.3) at z = 0.1. On the left, the change in the matter power spectrum with varying ULA mass is shown when the relative ULA density is fixed to Ωa/(Ωcdm + Ωa) = 0.5. The panel on the right displays the dependence of the power spectrum on varying ULA abundance at a fixed ULA mass of ma = 10−25 eV. The concordance ΛCDM model is shown in a black curve on both panels. Small-scale suppression becomes stronger with decreasing ULA mass and increasing ULA abundance. For higher ULA masses of ma ≫ 10−22 eV, the matter power spectrum becomes indistinguishable from the one in a ΛCDM cosmology, as is the case for Ωa → 0.
