Two Parameters

In this paper we study a quintessence cosmological model in which the dark energy component is considered to be the generalized Chaplygin gas and the curvature of the three-geometry is taken into account. Two parameters characterize this sort of fluid: ν and α. We use different astronomical data for restricting these parameters. It is shown that the constraint ν ≲ α agrees well enough with the astronomical observations.

We investigate the influence of mass inhomogeneities on the angular size-redshift test through a statistical analysis of angular size data for a large sample of milliarcsecond radio sources. The results are based on flat models driven by nonrelativistic matter plus a dark energy component in the form of a relic cosmological constant. To model the mass inhomogeneities we use the Zeldovich–Kantowski distance formula (also known as Dyer–Roeder distance redshift relation) which is characterized by the smoothness parameter α. Marginalizing over the characteristic angular size l and assuming a Gaussian prior on the matter density parameter, i.e., Ωm=0.35±0.07, the best fit model occurs at Ωm=0.35 and α=0.8. For an analysis without priors and minimizing χ2 for the parameters l, Ωm and α we find that a conventional homogeneous scenario (α=1) with Ωm=0.2 and D=22.6h-1 pc constitutes the best fit model for the present angular size data.

Recent redshift-distance measurements of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at cosmological distances suggest that two-third of the energy density of the universe is dominated by dark energy component with an effective negative pressure. This dark energy component is described by the equation of state px= wρx(w ≥ - 1). We use gravitational lensing statistics to constrain the equation of state of this dark energy. We use n(Δθ), the image separation distribution function of lensed quasars, as a tool to probe w. We find that for the observed range of Ωm~ 0.2–0.4, w should lie between -0.8 ≤ w ≤ -0.4 in order to have five lensed quasars in a sample of 867 optical quasars. This limit is highly sensitive to lens and Schechter parameters and the evolution of galaxies.

Current and upcoming surveys will measure the cosmological parameters with an extremely high accuracy. The primary goal of these observations is to eliminate some of the currently viable cosmological models created to explain the late-time accelerated expansion (either real or only inferred). However, most of the statistical tests used in cosmology have a strong requirement: the use of a model to fit the data. Recently there has been an increased interest on finding tests that are model independent, i.e. to have a function that depends entirely on observed quantities and not on the model, see for instance [C. Clarkson, B. Bassett and T. H. C. Lu, Phys. Rev. Lett.101 (2008) 011301, arXiv:0712.3457 [astro-ph]]. In this paper, we present an alternative consistency check at the perturbative level for a homogeneous and isotropic Universe filled with a dark energy component. This test makes use of the growth of matter perturbations data and it is able to detect a deviation from the standard cosmological model, which could later be attributed to a clustering dark energy component, a tension in the data or a modification of gravity, within the framework of a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) universe.

Recently, the vacuum energy of the QCD ghost in a time-dependent background is proposed as a kind of dark energy candidate to explain the acceleration of the Universe. In this model, the energy density of the dark energy is proportional to the Hubble parameter H, which is the Hawking temperature on the Hubble horizon of the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) Universe. In this paper, we generalized this model and chose the Hawking temperature on the so-called trapping horizon, which will coincide with the Hubble temperature in the context of flat FRW Universe dominated by the dark energy component. We study the thermodynamics of Universe with this kind of dark energy and find that the entropy-area relation is modified, namely, there is another new term besides the area term.

To explain the cosmic speed up, brought to light by the recent SNIa and CMB observations, we propose the following: (a) In a spacetime endowed with a FRW metric, we choose an empirical scale factor that best explains the observations. (b) We assume a modified gravity, generated by an unspecified field Lagrangian, f(R). (c) We use the adopted empirical scale factor to work back retroactively to obtain f(R), hence the term "Inverse f(R)". (d) Next we consider the classic GR and a conventional FRW universe that, in addition to its known baryonic content, possesses a hypothetical "Dark Energy" component. We compare the two scenarios and find the density, the pressure, and the equation of the state of the Dark Energy required to make up for the differences between the conventional and the modified GR models.

Recent astronomical observations suggest that the bulk of energy in the Universe is repulsive and appears like a dark energy component (which accounts for ~2/3 of the energy content of the Universe) with negative pressure (ω ≡ px/ρx < 0). In this work, we discuss the thermodynamic behavior by considering three different parametrizations, describing the dark energy component: (1) Model 1: [Formula: see text]; (2) Model 2: ω(z) = ω0 + ω2 z; (3) Model 3: ω(z) = ω0 - ω3 ln (1 + z). It is found that its energy and temperature grow during the evolution of the Universe since work is done on the system. The case of phantom energy (ω < -1), however, seems to be physically meaningless because its entropy is negative. Our analysis also implies that the ultimate fate of the Universe may be considerably modified. Actually, the future of the Universe depends on the kind of parametrization. For Models 1 and 3, the Universe will becoming increasingly hot, while for Model 2 it cools during evolution.

We consider a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe filled by a dark energy (DE) candidate together with other possible sources which may include the baryonic and nonbaryonic matters. Thereinafter, we consider a situation in which the cosmos sectors do not interact with each other. By applying the unified first law of thermodynamics on the apparent horizon of the FRW universe, we show that the DE candidate may modify the apparent horizon entropy and thus the Bekenstein limit. Moreover, we generalize our study to the models in which the cosmos sectors have a mutual interaction. Our final result indicates that the mutual interaction between the cosmos sectors may add an additional term to the apparent horizon entropy leading to modify the Bekenstein limit. Relationships with previous works have been addressed throughout the paper. Finally, we investigate the validity of the second law of thermodynamics and its generalized form in the interacting and noninteracting cosmoses.

Age Estimates

A large amount of recent observational evidence strongly suggests that we live in a flat, accelerating universe composed of ≃ 1/3 of matter (barionic + dark) and ≃ 2/3 of an exotic component with large negative pressure, usually called dark energy or "quintessence." In this contribution, we investigate observational constraints on the equation of state of the dark energy from age estimates of galaxy clusters, supernovae observations and CMB measurements. Our results are based on a flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) type models driven by non-relativistic matter plus a smooth dark energy component parametrized by a constant equation of state px = ωωx (ω < 0).
