Scientific paper

Attempts to derive the mean mass density of the universe from the deceleration parameter q0 remain inconclusive. Density determinations from the mass associated with luminous matter (Ω0 = 0.1 - 0.12), from the Virgocentric streaming motion (Ω0 = 0.08), and from the motion with respect to the CMB (Ω0 = 0.14 - 0.22) agree surprisingly well. These values do not violate the upper bound for the baryon density of ΩB < 0.2 - 0.3 from (inhomogeneous) primordial nucleosynthesis. Time scale arguments could allow for a higher value of Ω0. The mass needed for a flat universe (Ω0 = 1) must be, if it exists, dark, non-baryonic and have a large clustering scale length. There is, however, only a marginal increase Ω0 with the scale length, over which it can be measured.
