Friedmann–Robertson–Walker universes with a presently large fraction of the energy density stored in an X-component with wX<-1/3, are considered. We find all the critical points of the system for constant equations of state in that range. We consider further several background quantities that can distinguish the models with different wX values. Using a simple toy model with a varying equation of state, we show that even a large variation of wX at small redshifts is very difficult to observe… Expand

RECONSTRUCTING COSMOLOGICAL MATTER PERTURBATIONS USING STANDARD CANDLES AND RULERS
For a large class of dark energy (DE) models, for which the effective gravitational constant is a constant and there is no direct exchange of energy between DE and dark matter (DM), knowledge of the… Expand
Friedmann–Robertson–Walker accelerating Universe with interactive dark energy
We have developed an accelerating cosmological model for the present universe which is phantom for the period $ (0 \leq z \leq 1.99)$ and quintessence phase for $(1.99 \leq z \leq 2.0315)$. The… Expand
Observational constraints on low redshift evolution of dark energy: How consistent are different observations?
The dark energy component of the Universe is often interpreted either in terms of a cosmological constant or as a scalar field. A generic feature of the scalar field models is that the equation of… Expand
Flat Cosmology with Coupled Matter and Dark Energy
Three models of a flat universe of coupled matter and dark energy with different low-redshift parameterizations of the dark energy equation of state are considered. The dark energy is assumed to vary… Expand
Seeking evolution of dark energy
We study how observationally to distinguish between a cosmological constant (CC) and an evolving dark energy with equation of state ω(Z). We focus on the value of redshift Z∗ at which the cosmic late… Expand
Investigating Dark Energy Equation of State With High Redshift Hubble Diagram
Several independent cosmological data, collected within the last 20 years, revealed the accelerated expansion rate of the Universe, usually assumed to be driven by the so called dark energy, which,… Expand
Accelerating universe and scalar-tensor theories
Observational probes of dark energy converge on the fact that its equation of state w is close to −1. Some of these probes (for example the Gold SnIa sample) mildly support the possibility that w is… Expand
Accelerating universe: Recent observations and implications for extended gravity theories
Recent high quality cosmological observations have confirmed and mapped in detail the accelerating expansion of the universe. These observations involve geometrical methods (use of standard candles… Expand
Averaging Robertson-Walker cosmologies
The cosmological backreaction arises when one directly averages the Einstein equations to recover an effective Robertson-Walker cosmology, rather than assuming a background a priori. While usually… Expand
Dark energy, α-attractors, and large-scale structure surveys
Over the last few years, a large family of cosmological attractor models has been discovered, which can successfully match the latest inflation-related observational data. Many of these models can… Expand

Reconstructing the cosmic equation of state from supernova distances.
TLDR
A model-independent method for estimating the form of the potential V(phi) of the scalar field driving this acceleration, and the associated equation of state w(phi), based on a versatile analytical form for the luminosity distance D(L). Expand
Cosmological imprint of an energy component with general equation of state
We examine the possibility that a significant component of the energy density of the Universe has an equation of state different from that of matter, radiation, or cosmological constant ({Lambda} ).… Expand

TLDR
It is argued that a number of models in which the energy density of the scalar field red-shifts in a specific manner are studied could reconcile the low dynamical estimates of the mean mass density with the negligibly small spatial curvature preferred by inflation. Expand
The Case for a positive cosmological Lambda term
Recent observations of Type 1a supernovae indicating an accelerating universe have once more drawn attention to the possible existence, at the present epoch, of a small positive Lambda-term… Expand
Reconstruction of a scalar-tensor theory of gravity in an accelerating universe
TLDR
The present acceleration of the Universe strongly indicated by recent observational data can be modeled in the scope of a scalar-tensor theory of gravity by determining the structure of this theory along with the present density of dustlike matter from two observable cosmological functions. Expand
Constraints on Cosmological Models from Hubble Space Telescope Observations of High-z Supernovae
We have coordinated Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry with ground-based discovery for three supernovae: Type Ia supernovae near z ≈ 0.5 (SN 1997ce, SN 1997cj) and a third event at z = 0.97 (SN… Expand
A flat Universe from high-resolution maps of the cosmic microwave background radiation
TLDR
The first images of resolved structure in the microwave background anisotropies over a significant part of the sky are reported, consistent with that expected for cold dark matter models in a flat (euclidean) Universe, as favoured by standard inflationary models. Expand

The ultimate fate of the Universe, infinite expansion or a big crunch, can be determined by using the redshifts and distances of very distant supernovae to monitor changes in the expansion rate. We… Expand
