Abstract
In this paper, we confront the predictions of the power law Cardassian model for the baryon power spectrum with the observations of the SDSS galaxy survey. We show that they fit only for very unusual values of the cold dark matter or baryon density parameters, the Hubble parameter or the spectral index of the initial power spectrum. Moreover, the best-fit Cardassian models turn out to be phantom models. If one wants to recover the usual values for these constants, as quoted by the WMAP team, the power law Cardassian model turns out to be indistinguishable from a $\Lambda$CDM model.


Key words: cosmology: theory -- cosmological parameters -- large-scale structure of Universe

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
