Assuming the form of the entropic dark energy (EDE) as it arises from the surface term in the Einstein–Hilbert’s action, its evolution was analyzed in an expanding flat universe. The model parameters were evaluated by constraining the model using the Union data on Type Ia supernovae. We found that in the non-interacting case, the model predicts an early decelerated phase and a later accelerated phase at the background level. The evolutions of the Hubble parameter, dark energy (DE) density, equation of state parameter and deceleration parameter were obtained. The model hardly seems to be supporting the linear perturbation growth for the structure formation. We also found that the EDE shows phantom nature for redshifts z [Formula: see text] 0.257. During the phantom epoch, the model predicts big rip effect at which both the scale factor of expansion and the DE density become infinitely large and the big rip time is found to be around 36 Giga years from now.

Parametrization Scheme

In this paper we investigate a simple parametrization scheme of the quintessence model given by Wetterich [Phys. Lett. B594, 17 (2004)]. The crucial parameter of this model is the bending parameter b, which is related to the amount of dark energy in the early universe. Using the linear perturbation and the spherical infall approximations, we investigate the evolution of matter density perturbations in the variable dark energy model, and obtain an analytical expression for the growth index f. We show that increasing b leads to less growth of the density contrast δ, and also decreases the growth index. Giving a fitting formula for the growth index at the present time, we verify that the approximation relation [Formula: see text] also holds in this model. To compare predictions of the model with observations, we use the Supernovae type Ia (SNIa) Gold Sample and the parameters of the large scale structure determined by the 2-degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). The best fit values for the model parameters by marginalizing on the remained ones, are [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at 1σ confidence level. As a final test we calculate the age of universe for different choices of the free parameters in this model and compare it with the age of old stars and some high redshift objects. Then we show that the predictions of this variable dark energy model are consistent with the age observation of old star and can solve the "age crisis" problem.

Linear Perturbation Theory

The modified Chaplygin gas could be considered to abide by the unified dark fluid model because the model might describe the past decelerating matter dominated era and at present time it provides an accelerating expansion of the Universe. In this paper, we have employed the Planck 2015 cosmic microwave background anisotropy, type-Ia supernovae, observed Hubble parameter data sets to measure the full parameter space of the modified Chaplygin gas as a unified dark matter and dark energy model. The model parameters Bs, α, and B determine the evolutional history of this unified dark fluid model by influencing the energy density ρMCG = ρMCG0[Bs + (1 − Bs)a−3(1 + B)(1 + α)]1/(1 + α). We assumed the pure adiabatic perturbation of unified modified Chaplygin gas in the linear perturbation theory. In the light of Markov chain Monte Carlo method, we find that Bs = 0.727+0.040+0.075−0.039−0.079, α = −0.0156+0.0982+0.2346−0.1380−0.2180, B = 0.0009+0.0018+0.0030−0.0017−0.0030 at 2σ level. The model parameters α and B are very close to zero and the nature of unified dark energy and dark matter model is very similar to cosmological standard model ΛCDM.

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.

We apply the type Ia supernovae union dataset and the baryon acoustic oscillations data at z = 0.2 and z = 0.35 to constrain variable Chaplygin gas (VCG) model as the unification of dark matter and dark energy. It is shown that the confidence levels for VCG model parameters are [Formula: see text]. And it indicates that the values of transition redshift and current deceleration parameter are: [Formula: see text]. In addition, we plot the evolution trajectory of the VCG model in the statefinder parameter r–s plane and show the discrimination between this scenario and other dark energy models.

Dark Energy is the dominant constituent of the universe and we have little understanding of it. We describe a new project aimed at measuring the dark energy equation of state parameter, w, to a statistical precision of ~5% with four separate techniques. The survey will image 5000 deg2 in the southern sky and collect 300 million galaxies, 30,000 galaxy clusters, and 2000 Type Ia supernovae. The survey will be carried out using a new 3 deg2 mosaic camera mounted at the prime focus of the 4m Blanco telescope at CTIO.

Dynamical Dark Energy

Observations of high-redshift supernovae indicate that the universe is accelerating at the present stage, and we refer to the cause for this cosmic acceleration as "dark energy". In particular, the analysis of current data of type Ia supernovae (SNIa), cosmic large-scale structure (LSS), and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy implies that, with some possibility, the equation-of-state parameter of dark energy may cross the cosmological-constant boundary (w = -1) during the recent evolution stage. The model of "quintom" has been proposed to describe this w = -1 crossing behavior for dark energy. As a single-real-scalar-field model of dark energy, the generalized ghost condensate model provides us with a successful mechanism for realizing the quintom-like behavior. In this paper, we reconstruct the generalized ghost condensate model in the light of three forms of parametrization for dynamical dark energy, with the best-fit results of up-to-date observational data.

Generalized Ghost Dark Energy

We study effects of anisotropy (although low) on the ghost and generalized ghost dark energy (DE) models in the framework of fractal cosmology. We obtain the equation of state parameter, [Formula: see text], the deceleration parameter, and the evolution equation of the ghost and generalized ghost dark energy. We find that, in both models, [Formula: see text] cannot cross the phantom line and eventually the universe approaches a de-Sitter phase of expansion. We show that the anisotropy effects on ghost and generalized ghost dark energy (GDE) in fractal cosmology correspond to [Formula: see text]CDM limit on the statefinder plane. We evaluate the anisotropy effects on both the linear perturbation and the spherical collapse from the DE models and compare them with the results of the DE of the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker and [Formula: see text]CDM models. We also show that in ghost and generalized ghost cosmologies, the growth factor [Formula: see text] rise front the values for an [Formula: see text]CDM universe. Finally, we constrain the model parameters by using the maximum likelihood analysis and a combined dataset of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) and OHD.

In this work, we aim to show the possibilities of the variable speed of light (VSL) theory in explaining the type Ia supernovae (SNe) observations without introducing dark energy. The speed of light is assumed to be scale factor-dependent, which is the most popular assumption in VSL theory. We show the modified calculation of the distance modulus and the validity of the redshift-scale factor relation in VSL theory. Three different models of VSL are tested SNe data-sets with proper constraints on the model parameters. The comparison of the three models and flat ΛCDM in distance modulus is showed. Some basic problems and the difficulties of the confirmation of the VSL theory are also discussed.

Flux Calibration

Measurements of the luminosity of Type Ia supernovae versus redshift provided the original evidence for the accelerating expansion of the Universe and the existence of dark energy. Despite substantial improvements in survey methodology, systematic uncertainty in flux calibration dominates the error budget for this technique, exceeding both statistics and other systematic uncertainties. Consequently, any further collection of Type Ia supernova data will fail to refine the constraints on the nature of dark energy unless we also improve the state of the art in astronomical flux calibration to the order of 1%. We describe how these systematic errors arise from calibration of instrumental sensitivity, atmospheric transmission and Galactic extinction, and discuss ongoing efforts to meet the 1% precision challenge using white dwarf stars as celestial standards, exquisitely calibrated detectors as fundamental metrologic standards, and real-time atmospheric monitoring.
