Cosmology and neutrino masses - an update

Abstract

Present cosmological observations yield an upper bound on the neutrino mass which is significantly stronger than laboratory bounds. However, the exact value of the cosmological bound is model dependent and therefore less robust. Here, I review the current status of cosmological neutrino mass bounds and also discuss implications for sterile neutrinos and LSND in particular.
