Abstract

In this paper, the annihilation of dark matter (DM) fdɛ0 with nonzero equation of state (EoS) wdm was studied by using the currently available cosmic observations which include geometric and dynamic measurements. The constrained results show they are anti-correlated and are w dm = 0.000390-0.000753+0.000754 and fd&epsilon_0; = 1.172-1.172+0.243, respectively in 1σ regions. With the inclusion of possible annihilation of DM, no significant deviation from ΛCDM model was found in the 1σ region.
