Using the low limit of cosmic ages from globular cluster and the white dwarfs: t(0) > 12 Gyr, together with recent new high redshift supernova observations from the HST/GOODS program and previous supernova data, we give a considerable estimation of the equation of state for dark energy, with uniform priors as weak as 0.2 < Omega(m) < 0.4 or 0.1 < Omega(m)h(2) < 0.16. We find cosmic age limit plays a significant role in lowering the upper bound on the variation amplitude of dark energy equation… Expand

Estimates of the Bayesian evidence show little preference between the cosmological constant model and the dynamical model for a range of correlated prior choices, and it is found that the best fit models for current data could be well distinguished from the ΛCDM model by observations such as Planck and Euclid-like surveys.
