Fuzzy Vs. Cold Dark Matter Simulations

Caption

These images depict the absorption of light by hydrogen gas within the IGM, with bright areas indicating high gas density. The curves also show hydrogen absorption. On the left is a simulation based on the standard cold dark matter model. On the right is a simulation based on fuzzy dark matter. The left curve is more consistent with data analyzed by Iršič and colleagues.
