Constraining Logotropic Unified Dark Energy Models

Abstract

A unification of dark matter and dark energy in terms of a logotropic perfect dark fluid has recently been proposed, where deviations with respect to the standard $\Lambda \mathrm{CDM}$ model are dependent on a single parameter $B$. In this paper we show that the requirement that the linear growth of cosmic structures on comoving scales larger than $8h^{-1}\mathrm{Mpc}$ is not significantly affected with respect to the standard $\Lambda \mathrm{CDM}$ result provides the strongest constraint to date on the model ($B<6\times 10^{-7}$), an improvement of more than three orders of magnitude over previous constraints on the value of $B$. We further show that this constraint rules out the logotropic Unified Dark Energy model as a possible solution to the small scale problems of the $\Lambda$CDM model, including the cusp problem of Dark Matter halos or the missing satellite problem, as well as the original version of the model where the Planck energy density was taken as one of the two parameters characterizing the logotropic dark fluid.
