This figure illustrates the robustness of the preference for positive neutrino masses to other parameter extensions. The marginalized one-dimensional posteriors for ∑ m ν are shown for two-parameter extensions to ΛCDM for the combined CMB+BAO+ H 0+ data sets (for w, SNe are used instead of H 0). Allowing significant curvature or running can significantly reduce the preference for nonzero neutrino masses (to 1.7 and 2.4σ respectively). Other extensions increase the preference for positive neutrino masses.
