The thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (tSZ) effect is one of the recent probes of cosmology and large-scale structures. We update constraints on cosmological parameters from galaxy clusters observed by the Planck satellite in a first attempt to combine cluster number counts and the power spectrum of hot gas; we used a new value of the optical depth and, at the same time, sampling on cosmological and scaling-relation parameters. We find that in the ΛCDM model, the addition of a tSZ power spectrum provides small improvements with respect to number counts alone, leading to the 68% c.l. constraints Ωm = 0.32  ± 0.02, σ8 = 0.76  ± 0.03, and σ8(Ωm/0.3)1/3 = 0.78  ± 0.03 and lowering the discrepancy with results for cosmic microwave background (CMB) primary anisotropies (updated with the new value of τ) to ≃1.8σ on σ8. We analysed extensions to the standard model, considering the effect of massive neutrinos and varying the equation of state parameter for dark energy. In the first case, we find that the addition of the tSZ power spectrum helps in improving cosmological constraints with respect to number count alone results, leading to the 95% upper limit ∑ mν < 1.88 eV. For the varying dark energy equation of state scenario, we find no important improvements when adding tSZ power spectrum, but still the combination of tSZ probes is able to provide constraints, producing w = −1.0 ± 0.2. In all cosmological scenarios, the mass bias to reconcile CMB and tSZ probes remains low at (1 − b) ≲ 0.67 as compared to estimates from weak lensing and X-ray mass estimate comparisons or numerical simulations.

AbstractModels for galaxy clusters abundance and their spatial distribution are sensitive to cosmological parameters. Present and future surveys will provide high-redshift sample of clusters, such as Dark Energy Survey (z ⩽ 1.3), making cluster number counts one of the most promising cosmological probes. In the literature, some cosmological analyses are carried out using small cluster catalogs (tens to hundreds), like in Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) surveys. However, it is not guaranteed that maximum likelihood estimators of cosmological parameters are unbiased in this scenario. In this work we study different estimators of the cold dark matter density parameter Ωc, σ8 and the dark energy equation of state parameter w0 obtained from cluster abundance. Using an unbinned likelihood for cluster number counts and the Monte Carlo approach, we determine the presence of bias and how it varies with the size of the sample. Our fiducial models are based on the South Pole Telescope (SPT). We show that the biases from SZ estimators do not go away with increasing sample sizes and they may become the dominant source of error for an all sky survey at the SPT sensitivity.

For dynamical dark energy with the barotropic equation of state we determine the mean values of parameters and their confidence ranges together with other cosmological parameters on the basis of different combined datasets. The used observations include Planck data on CMB temperature anisotropy, E-mode polarisation and lensing, BICEP2/Keck Array data on B-mode polarisation, BAO from SDSS and 6dFGS, power spectrum of galaxies from WiggleZ, weak lensing from CFHTLenS and SN Ia data from the JLA compilation. We find that all but one mean models are phantom, mean values of the equation of state parameter at current epoch are close to −1 and constraints on the adiabatic sound speed of dark energy are weak. We investigate the effect of CMB polarisation data on the dark energy parameters estimation. We discuss also which type of data on the large scale structure of the Universe allows to determine the dark energy parameters most precisely.

We develop the connection off(R)theory with new agegraphic and holographic dark energy models. The functionf(R)is reconstructed regarding thef(R)theory as an effective description for these dark energy models. We show the future evolution offand conclude that these functions represent distinct pictures of cosmological eras. The cosmological parameters such as equation of state parameter, deceleration parameter, statefinder diagnostic, andw−w′analysis are investigated which assure the evolutionary paradigm off.

We use the SNLS3 compilation of 472 type Ia supernova data, the baryon acoustic oscillation measurement of distance, and the cosmic microwave background radiation data from the seven year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe to study the effect of their different combinations on the fittings of cosmological parameters. Neither BAO nor WMAP7 data alone gives good constraint on the equation of state parameter of dark energy, but both WMAP7 data and BAO data help type Ia supernova data break the degeneracies among the model parameters, hence tighten the constraint on the variation of equation of state parameter wa, and WMAP7 data does the job a little better. Although BAO and WMAP7 data provide reasonably good constraints on Ωm and Ωk, it is not able to constrain the dynamics of dark energy, we need SNe Ia data to probe the property of dark energy, especially the variation of the equation of state parameter of dark energy. For the SNLS SNe Ia data, the nuisance parameters α and β are consistent for all different combinations of the above data. Their impacts on the fittings of cosmological parameters are minimal. ΛCDM model is consistent with current observational data.

Abstract We investigate and quantify the impact of mixed (cold and warm) dark matter models on large-scale structure observables. In this scenario, dark matter comes in two phases, a cold one (CDM) and a warm one (WDM): the presence of the latter causes a suppression in the matter power spectrum which is allowed by current constraints and may be detected in present-day and upcoming surveys. We run a large set of N-body simulations in order to build an efficient and accurate emulator to predict the aforementioned suppression with percent precision over a wide range of values for the WDM mass, Mwdm, and its fraction with respect to the totality of dark matter, fwdm. The suppression in the matter power spectrum is found to be independent of changes in the cosmological parameters at the 2% level for k≲ 10 h/Mpc and z≤ 3.5. In the same ranges, by applying a baryonification procedure on both ΛCDM and CWDM simulations to account for the effect of feedback, we find a similar level of agreement between the two scenarios. We examine the impact that such suppression has on weak lensing and angular galaxy clustering power spectra. Finally, we discuss the impact of mixed dark matter on the shape of the halo mass function and which analytical prescription yields the best agreement with simulations. We provide the reader with an application to galaxy cluster number counts.

AbstractIn the framework of fractal universe, the unified models of dark energy and dark matter are being presented with the background of homogenous and isotropic FLRW geometry. The aspects of fractal cosmology helps in better understanding of the universe in different dimensions. Relationship between the squared speed of the sound and the equation of state parameter is the key feature of these models. We have used constant as well as variable forms of speed of sound and express it as a function of equation of state parameter. By utilizing the four different forms of speed of sound, we construct the energy densities and pressures for these models and then various cosmological parameters like hubble parameter, EoS parameter, deceleration parameter and Om- diagnostic are investigated. Graphical analysis of these parameters show that in most of the cases EoS parameters and trajectories of Om-diagnostic corresponds to the quintessence like nature of the universe and the deceleration parameters represent accelerated and decelerated phase. In the end, we remark that cosmological analysis of these models indicates that these models correspond to different well known dark energy models.

In this paper, we study the behavior of non-interacting and interacting pilgrim dark energy (DE) for non-flat FRW model in Brans–Dicke (BD) theory. We consider the future event horizon as well as logarithmic form of BD scalar field [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is the scale factor. We evaluate some well-known cosmological parameters such as equation of state as well as deceleration parameter and [Formula: see text] plane as well as statefinder parameters. We discuss graphical behavior of these parameters through pilgrim DE parameter [Formula: see text] for both non-interacting as well as interacting case with interacting parameter [Formula: see text]. It is found that the equation of state parameter gives consistent results with the current cosmic behavior while the deceleration parameter represents transition from decelerated to accelerated phase. The cosmological planes represent different DE regions. Finally, we discuss stability of the model through squared speed of sound in both cases.

The purpose of this paper is to study power-law entropy-corrected holographic dark energy (PLECHDE) in the framework of Brans–Dicke cosmology with Granda–Oliveros (G-O) IR-cutoff. Considering the interacting and non-interacting scenario of PLECHDE with dark matter, we investigate the cosmological implications of this model in detail. We obtain the equation of state parameter, deceleration parameter, and evolution of dark energy density to explain expansion of the universe. We also determine these parameters for Ricci scale. We extend our study of the power-law entropy-corrected agegraphic dark energy model and calculate some cosmological parameters. Further, we show that the results that we calculate have good compatibility with previous work and matches it in the limiting case. Finally, we find a cosmological application of our work by evaluating the equation of state of dark energy for low red-shift.

Tsallis entropy has been widely applied to analyze the gravitational and cosmological setups. We discuss the dark energy (DE) model by its cosmological consequences using Tsallis holographic entropy in the framework of modified Brans–Dicke (BD) gravity. We consider the Hubble horizon as infrared cutoff to study the nature of DE that is responsible for current cosmic acceleration. We focus on flat FRW universe in interacting and noninteracting scenarios between DE and dark matter (DM). In this framework, we discuss the cosmological parameters like equation of state parameter, deceleration parameter, Om-diagnostic, squared speed of sound and planes like evolving equation of state parameter and statefinders. We discuss graphical presentation of these parameters and planes. We compare the results with observation data to check the consistency of results.

In this paper, we studied the cosmological implications of generalized ghost Tsallis holographic dark energy in the framework of Randall–Sundrum II braneworld and Chern–Simons modified gravity in flat FRW universe. We discuss the cosmological parameters like equation of state parameter, deceleration parameter, squared speed of sound, Om-diagnostic and planes like evolving equation of state parameter and statefinders. These models yield useful results in this context.
