(2015) is reviewed in this letter in order to check whether it could explain the Cold Spot (CS) anomaly. Two different models, previously used for the same purpose, are considered to describe the matter density profile of the void: a top hat function and a compensated profile produced by a Gaussian potential. The analysis shows that, even enabling ellipticity changes or different values for the dark-energy equation of state parameter ω, the ISW contribution due to the presence of the void does not reproduce the properties of the CS.}, organization = {Partial financial support from the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad Projects AYA2012-39475-C02-01 and Consolider-Ingenio 2010 CSD2010-00064 is acknowledged.}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, publisher = {Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016, 460(1), L15-L19}, title = {On the void explanation of the Cold Spot}, author = {Marcos Caballero, Airam Eduardo and Fernández Cobos, Raúl and Martínez González, Enrique and Vielva Martínez, Patricio}, }
