We study the observational constraints on the Phantom Crossing DGP model. We demonstrate that the crossing of the phantom divide does not occur within the framework of the original Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati (DGP) model or the DGP model developed by Dvali and Turner. By extending their model in the framework of an extra dimension scenario, we study a model that realizes crossing of the phantom divide. We investigate the cosmological constraints obtained from the recent observational data of Type Ia supernovae, cosmic microwave background anisotropies, and baryon acoustic oscillations. The best-fit values of the parameters with 1σ (68%) errors for the Phantom Crossing DGP model are [Formula: see text]. We find that the Phantom Crossing DGP model is more compatible with the observations than the original DGP model or the DGP model developed by Dvali and Turner. Our model can realize late-time acceleration of the universe, similar to that of ΛCDM model, without dark energy due to the effect of DGP gravity. In our model, the crossing of the phantom divide occurs at a redshift of z ~ 0.2.

In this paper, a holographic dark energy model, dubbed Ricci dark energy, is confronted with cosmological observational data from type Ia Supernovae (SN Ia), baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and cosmic microwave background (CMB). By using maximum likelihood method, we found that Ricci dark energy model is a viable candidate of dark energy model with the best fit parameters: Ωm0 = 0.34 ± 0.04, α = 0.38 ± 0.03 with 1σ error. Here, α is a dimensionless parameter related to Ricci dark energy ρR and Ricci scalar R, i.e. ρR ∝ αR.

We investigate the cosmological constraints on the variable modified Chaplygin gas (VMCG) model from the latest observational data: Union2 dataset of Type Ia supernovae (SNIa), the observational Hubble data (OHD), the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. By using the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, we obtain the mean values of parameters in the flat model: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, we investigate the thermodynamical properties of VMCG model at apparent horizon, event horizon and particle horizon respectively.

We put forward a pressure-parametric model to study the tiny deviation from cosmological constant(CC) behavior of the dark sector accelerating the expansion of the Universe. Data from cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO), Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) observation are applied to constrict the model parameters. The constraint results show that such model suffers with [Formula: see text] tension as well. To realize this model more physically, we reconstruct it with the quintessence and phantom scalar fields, and find out that although the model predicts a quintessence-induced acceleration of the Universe at past and present, at some moment of the future, dark energy’s density have a disposition to increase.

AbstractTo investigate whether f(R) gravity can relieve current $$H_0$$ H 0 and $$\sigma _8$$ σ 8 tensions, we constrain the Hu-Sawicki f(R) gravity with Planck-2018 cosmic microwave background and redshift space distortions observations. We find that this model fails to relieve both $$H_0$$ H 0 and $$\sigma _8$$ σ 8 tensions, and that its two typical parameters $$\log _{10}f_{R0}$$ log 10 f R 0 and n are insensitive to other cosmological parameters. Combining the cosmic microwave background, baryon acoustic oscillations, Type Ia supernovae, cosmic chronometers with redshift space distortions observations, we give our best constraint $$\log _{10}f_{R0}<-6.75$$ log 10 f R 0 < - 6.75 at the $$2\sigma $$ 2 σ confidence level.

Constraints on a parametrized deceleration parameter, q(a) = q0+ q1(1 - a), are investigated using cosmological observations of type Ia supernovae (SN Ia), baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs) and cosmic microwave background (CMB) and observational Hubble data (OHD) which correspond to the cosmological distance measure. When a high redshift dataset of CMB is added in the SN + BAO + OHD case, a stronger constraint is obtained than for the lower redshift case, SN + BAO + OHD. The evolutions of the deceleration and Hubble parameters with respect to redshift z are reconstructed from cosmic observations. With cosmic observations as constraints, it is found that a smaller current deceleration parameter and a larger transition redshift are obtained in the SN + BAO + OHD case than in the SN + BAO + OHD + CMB case. In the SN + BAO + OHD + CMB case, slightly larger Hubble parameter values will be obtained than in the SN + BAO + OHD case.

Cosmological models, stemming from the extension of the “special relativity (SR) with a privileged frame” to general relativity (GR), are developed and fitted to the observational data. The framework termed “SR with a privileged frame” incorporates the privileged frame into SR while retaining the fundamental spacetime symmetry which, in the standard SR, manifests itself as Lorentz invariance. The correspondingly modified GR, like the standard GR, is based on the equivalence principle but with the properly modified spacetime local symmetry in which an invariant combination differs from the Minkowski interval of the standard SR. Applying the modified GR to cosmology yields the luminosity distance — redshift relation corrected such that the observed deceleration parameter can be negative as it is obtained from the data for Type Ia supernovae. Thus, the observed negative values of the deceleration parameter can be explained within the matter-dominated Friedman–Robertson–Walker (FRW) cosmological model of the universe without introducing the dark energy. A number of other observations, such as Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and Cosmic Microwave Background, also can be well fit to the cosmological model arising from the GR based on the SR with a privileged frame.

AbstractWe perform a Bayesian model selection analysis for interacting scenarios of dark matter and modified holographic Ricci dark energy (MHRDE) with linear interacting terms. We use a combination of some of the latest cosmological data such as type Ia supernovae, cosmic chronometers, the local value of the Hubble constant, baryon acoustic oscillations measurements and cosmic microwave background through the angular scale of the sound horizon at last scattering. We find moderate/strong evidence against all the MHRDE interacting scenarios studied with respect to $$\Lambda $$ Λ CDM when the full joint analysis is considered.

ABSTRACT The finite time, τdep, over which positrons from β+ decays of 56Co deposit energy in type Ia supernovae ejecta lead, in case the positrons are trapped, to a slower decay of the bolometric luminosity compared to an exponential decline. Significant light-curve flattening is obtained when the ejecta density drops below the value for which τdep equals the 56Co lifetime. We provide a simple method to accurately describe this ‘delayed deposition’ effect, which is straightforward to use for analysis of observed light curves. We find that the ejecta heating is dominated by delayed deposition typically from 600 to 1200 d, and only later by longer lived isotopes 57Co and 55Fe decay (assuming solar abundance). For the relatively narrow 56Ni velocity distributions of commonly studied explosion models, the modification of the light curve depends mainly on the 56Ni mass-weighted average density, 〈ρ〉t3. Accurate late-time bolometric light curves, which may be obtained with JWST far-infrared (far-IR) measurements, will thus enable to discriminate between explosion models by determining 〈ρ〉t3 (and the 57Co and 55Fe abundances). The flattening of light curves inferred from recent observations, which is uncertain due to the lack of far-IR data, is readily explained by delayed deposition in models with $\langle \rho \rangle t^{3} \approx 0.2\, \mathrm{M}_{\odot }\, (10^{4}\, \textrm{km}\, \textrm{s}^{-1})^{-3}$, and does not imply supersolar 57Co and 55Fe abundances.

We use a parameterized equation of state (EOS) of dark energy to a 5D Ricci-flat cosmological solution and suppose the universe contains two major components: dark matter and dark energy. Using the recent observational datasets: the latest 182 type Ia Supernovae Gold data, the three-year WMAP CMB shift parameter and the SDSS baryon acoustic peak, we obtain the best fit values of the EOS and two major components' evolution. We find that the best fit EOS crosses -1 in the near past where z ≃ 0.07, the present best fit value of wx(0) < -1 and for this model, the universe experiences the acceleration at about z ≃ 0.5.
