Abstract
In this paper we study the consistency of a cosmological model representing a universe filled with a one-component dissipative dark matter fluid, in the framework of the causal Israel–Stewart theory, where a general expression arising from perturbation analysis for the relaxation time [Formula: see text] is used. This model is described by an exact analytic solution recently found in [N. Cruz, E. González and G. Palma, Gen. Relat. Gravit. 52, 62 (2020), which depends on several model parameters as well as integration constants, allowing the use of Type Ia Supernovae and Observational Hubble data to perform by an astringent observational tests. The constraint regions found for the parameters of the solution allow the existence of an accelerated expansion of the universe at late times, after the domination era of the viscous pressure, which holds without the need of including a cosmological constant. Nevertheless, the fitted parameter values lead to drawbacks as a very large non-adiabatic contribution to the speed of sound, and some inconsistencies, not totally conclusive, with the description of the dissipative dark matter as a fluid, which is nevertheless a common feature of these kind of models.
