New constraints on the free-streaming of warm dark matter from intermediate and small scale Lyman-alpha forest data

We present new measurements of the free-streaming of warm dark matter (WDM) from Lyman-α flux-power spectra. We use data from the medium resolution, intermediate redshift XQ-100 sample observed with the X-shooter spectrograph (z = 3 – 4.2) and the high-resolution, high-redshift sample used in Viel e...
