3 Feb 2004 | | Journal: | JCAP 0412 (2004) 003 | | Subject: | astro-ph hep-ph | | Abstract: | The time dependence of the dark energy density can be an important clue to the nature of dark energy in the universe. We show that future supernova data from dedicated telescopes (such as SNAP), when combined with data of nearby supernovae, can be used to determine how the dark energy density $
ho_X(z)$ depends on redshift, if $
ho_X(z)$ is not too close to a constant. For quantitative comparison, we have done an extensive study of a number of dark energy models. Based on these models we have simulated data sets in order to show that we can indeed reconstruct the correct sign of the time dependence of the dark energy density, outside of a degeneracy region centered on $1+w_0 = -w_1 z_{max}/3$ (where $z_{max}$ is the maximum redshift of the survey, e.g., $z_{max}=1.7$ for SNAP). We emphasize that, given the same data, one can obtain much more information about the dark energy density directly (and its time dependence) than about its equation of state. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0402080 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
