Notes. Ω_0, m corresponds to the total matter (baryonic plus DM) density parameter; Ω_0, b is the baryonic density parameter; Ω_0, Λ is the density parameter associated with dark energy (cosmological constant); h is the Hubble constant written as H₀ = 100 h km s⁻¹ Mpc⁻¹; z_i is the redshift at which star formation begins; σ₈ is the normalization of the power spectrum, in other words σ(M, 0); n_p is the spectral index of the power spectrum; M_min corresponds to the lowest mass a DM halo must have to detach from the expansion of the Universe, to collapse, and to virialize (it is approximately equal to the Jeans mass at recombination).
