Abstract We develop a mechanism to generate dynamical dark energy - a quintessence field coupled with gravity. Such model causes the dark energy behaving differently in early and late time universe. In the radiation-dominated-era and matter-dominated-era, the related analytical solutions of the quintessence field have an interesting property - starting as a constant field, then oscillating as the universe expands. By Markov Chain Monte Carlo search of the parameter space with the local measurement (Type Ia supernovae) in the Bayesian framework, the probed range of H0 (within 1σ) overlaps the H0 value inferred from Planck CMB dataset by ΛCDM model.

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.

Abstract In this paper, we propose a new phenomenological two parameter parameterization of q(z) to constrain barotropic dark energy models by considering a spatially flat Universe, neglecting the radiation component, and reconstructing the effective equation of state (EoS). This two free-parameter EoS reconstruction shows a non-monotonic behavior, pointing to a more general fitting for the scalar field models, like thawing and freezing models. We constrain the q(z) free parameters using the observational data of the Hubble parameter obtained from cosmic chronometers, the joint-light-analysis Type Ia Supernovae (SNIa) sample, the Pantheon (SNIa) sample, and a joint analysis from these data. We obtain, for the joint analysis with the Pantheon (SNIa) sample a value of q(z) today, $$q_0=-0.51\begin{array}{c} +0.09 \\ -0.10 \end{array}$$q0=-0.51+0.09-0.10, and a transition redshift, $$z_t=0.65\begin{array}{c} +0.19 \\ -0.17 \end{array}$$zt=0.65+0.19-0.17 (when the Universe change from an decelerated phase to an accelerated one). The effective EoS reconstruction and the $$\omega '$$ω′–$$\omega $$ω plane analysis point towards a transition over the phantom divide, i.e. $$\omega =-1$$ω=-1, which is consistent with a non parametric EoS reconstruction reported by other authors.

In this paper, spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-[Formula: see text] dark energy (DE) cosmological transit models with string fluid source in [Formula: see text] gravity [T. Harko et al., Phys. Rev. D 84 (2011) 024020], where [Formula: see text] is the Ricci scalar and [Formula: see text] the trace of the stress energy–momentum tensor, have been studied in the context of early time decelerating and late-time accelerating expansion of the Universe as suggested by the recent observations. The exact solutions of the field equations are obtained first by using generalized hybrid expansion law (HEL) [Formula: see text] which yields a time-dependent deceleration parameter [Formula: see text] and second by considering the metric coefficient [Formula: see text]. By using recent constraints from supernovae type-Ia union data [Cunha, arXiv:0811.2379[astro-ph]], we obtain [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for transit model [Formula: see text]. The Universe has an initial singularity and is anisotropic closed and it tends to be flat at the late time, i.e. our Universe is in accelerating expansion. Our model shows a phase transition property from decelerating to accelerating. It is remarkable to mention here that our Universe is homogeneous and anisotropic in the early phase whereas it becomes homogeneous and isotropic for [Formula: see text]. We have also discussed the stability of the background solution with respect to perturbations of the metric along with the properties of future singularities in the Universe dominated by DE including the phantom-type fluid. Various physical and dynamical parameters are also calculated and investigated in terms of time and redshift both.

AbstractType Ia supernovae remain one of Astronomy's most precise tools for measuring distances in the Universe. I describe the cosmological application of these stellar explosions, and chronicle how they were used to discover an accelerating Universe in 1998 - an observation which is most simply explained if more than 70% of the Universe is made up of some previously undetected form of ‘Dark Energy’. Over the intervening 13 years, a variety of experiments have been completed, and even more proposed to better constrain the source of the acceleration. I review the range of experiments, describing the current state of our understanding of the observed acceleration, and speculate about future progress in understanding Dark Energy.

Abstract In this paper, we study an anisotropic universe model with Bianchi-I metric using Joint light-curve analysis (JLA) sample of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). Because light-curve parameters of SNe Ia vary with different cosmological models and SNe Ia samples, we fit the SNe Ia light-curve parameters and cosmological parameters simultaneously employing Markov chain Monte Carlo method. Therefore, the results on the amount of deviation from isotropy of the dark energy equation of state (δ), and the level of anisotropy of the large-scale geometry (Σ0) at present, are totally model-independent. The constraints on the skewness and cosmic shear are −0.101 &lt; δ &lt; 0.071 and −0.007 &lt; Σ0 &lt; 0.008. This result is consistent with a standard isotropic universe (δ = Σ0 = 0). However, a moderate level of anisotropy in the geometry of the Universe and the equation of state of dark energy, is allowed. Besides, there is no obvious evidence for a preferred direction of anisotropic axis in this model.

AbstractA special class of Type Ia supernovae that is not subject to ordinary and additional intragalactic gray absorption and chemical evolution has been identified. Analysis of the Hubble diagrams constructed for these supernovae confirms the accelerated expansion of the Universe irrespective of the chemical evolution and possible gray absorption in galaxies.

Recent observations of Type Ia supernovae provide evidence for the acceleration of our universe, which leads to the possibility that the universe is entering an inflationary epoch. We simulate it under a "big bounce" model, which contains a time variable cosmological "constant" that is derived from a higher dimension and manifests itself in 4D spacetime as dark energy. By properly choosing the two arbitrary functions contained in the model, we obtain a simple exact solution in which the evolution of the universe is divided into several stages. Before the big bounce, the universe contracts from a Λ-dominated vacuum, and after the bounce, the universe expands. In the early time after the bounce, the expansion of the universe is decelerating. In the late time after the bounce, dark energy (i.e. the variable cosmological "constant") overtakes dark matter and baryons, and the expansion enters an accelerating stage. When time tends to infinity, the contribution of dark energy tends to two thirds of the total energy density of the universe, qualitatively in agreement with observations.

A cosmological model with anisotropic dark energy is analyzed. The amount of deviation from isotropy of the equation of state of dark energy, the skewness δ, generates an anisotropization of the large-scale geometry of the Universe, quantifiable by means of the actual shear Σ0. Requiring that the level of cosmic anisotropization at the time of decoupling be such that we can solve the "quadrupole problem" of cosmic microwave background radiation, we find that |δ| ~ 10-4 and |Σ_0| ~10-5, compatible with existing limits derived from the magnitude redshift data on Type Ia supernovae.

The type Ia supernovae observational data are used to estimate the parameters of a cosmological model with cold dark matter and the Chaplygin gas. This exotic gas, which is characterized by a negative pressure varying with the inverse of density, represents in this model the dark energy responsible for the acceleration of the Universe. The Chaplygin gas model depends essentially on four parameters: the Hubble constant, the velocity of the sound of the Chaplygin gas, the curvature of the Universe and the fraction density of the Chaplygin gas and the cold dark matter. The Bayesian parameter estimation yields [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. These and other results indicate that a Universe completely dominated by the Chaplygin gas is favoured, what reinforces the idea that the Chaplygin gas may unify the description for dark matter and dark energy, at least as the type Ia supernovae data are concerned. A closed and accelerating Universe is also favoured. The Bayesian statistics indicates that the Chaplygin gas model is more likely than the standard cosmological constant (ΛCDM) model at 55.3% confidence level when an integration on all free parameters is performed. Assuming the spatially flat curvature, this percentage mounts to 65.3%. On the other hand, if the density of dark matter is fixed at zero value, the Chaplygin gas model becomes more preferred than the ΛCDM model at 91.8% confidence level. Finally, the hypothesis of flat Universe and baryonic matter (Ωb0=0.04) implies a Chaplygin gas model preferred over the ΛCDM at a confidence level of 99.4%.

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) luminosities can be corrected in order to render them useful as standard candles that are able to probe the expansion history of the universe. This technique was successfully applied to discover the present acceleration of the universe. As the number of SNe Ia observed at high redshift increases and analysis techniques are perfected, people aim to use this technique to probe the equation-of-state of the dark energy (EOSDE). Nevertheless, the nature of SNe Ia progenitors remains controversial and concerns persist about possible evolution effects that may be larger and harder to characterize than the more obvious statistical uncertainties.
