Neutrino-mass constraints from BAO and the CMB
How combining DESI BAO and CMB information changes the allowed region in matter density and total neutrino mass.
Green DESI bands, dashed CMB contours, and blue combined contours are overlaid in the plane of matter density and total neutrino mass for the Lambda-CDM model.

About this visualization
The animation brings together DESI BAO, CMB, and DESI + CMB information in the plane of matter density Ωm and total neutrino mass Σmν. Green bands show the DESI contribution, dashed contours show the CMB, and blue contours show the combination.
The sequence illustrates how the complementary constraints change the allowed region in the ΛCDM model shown in the graphic.
