Constraints on dark energy models from radial baryon acoustic scale measurements
نویسنده
چکیده
We use the radial baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements of Gaztañaga et al. (2008a) to constrain parameters of dark energy models. These constraints are comparable with constraints from other “non-radial” BAO data. The radial BAO data are consistent with the time-independent cosmological constant model but do not rule out time-varying dark energy. Subject headings: cosmological parameters — distance scale — large-scale structure of universe

First cosmological constraints on dark energy from the radial baryon acoustic scale.
We present cosmological constraints arising from the first measurement of the radial (line-of-sight) baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) scale in the large scale structure traced by the galaxy distribution. Here we use these radial BAO measurements at z = 0.24 and z = 0.43 to derive new constraints on dark energy and its equation of state for a flat universe, without any other assumptions on the...
متن کاملConstraints on dark energy from baryon acoustic peak and galaxy cluster gas mass measurements
We use baryon acoustic peak measurements by Eisenstein et al. (2005) and Percival et al. (2007a), together with the WMAP measurement of the apparent acoustic horizon angle, and galaxy cluster gas mass fraction measurements of Allen et al. (2008), to constrain a slowly rolling scalar field dark energy model, φCDM, in which dark energy’s energy density changes in time. We also compare our φCDM re...
متن کاملConstraints on Dark Energy from Supernovae , γ - ray bursts , Acoustic Oscillations , Nucleosynthesis and Large Scale Structure and the Hubble constant
The luminosity distance vs. redshift law is now measured using supernovae and γ-ray bursts, and the angular size distance is measured at the surface of last scattering by the CMB and at z = 0.35 by baryon acoustic oscillations. In this paper this data is fit to models for the equation of state with w = −1, w = constant, and w(z) = w 0 + w a (1 − a). The last model is poorly constrained by the d...
متن کاملDark Energy Constraints from Baryon Acoustic Oscillations
Baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the galaxy power spectrum allows us to extract the scale of the comoving sound horizon at recombination, a cosmological standard ruler accurately determined by the cosmic microwave background anisotropy data. We examine various issues important in the use of BAO to probe dark energy. We find that assuming a flat universe, and priors on Ωm, Ωmh , and Ωbh 2 a...
متن کاملConstraining dark energy with gamma - ray bursts
We use the cosmology-independent gamma-ray burst (GRB) distances of Wang (2008) to constrain dark energy cosmological model parameters. Current GRB data alone can not tightly constrain cosmological parameters and allow for a wide range of dark energy models. When used jointly with current Type Ia supernovae data and baryon acoustic peak measurements, the GRB data favor slightly lower values of ...
