  4. Parametrization of H(z)-w(z)

  5. Best Fit Parametrizations (Gold Sample) • All best fit parameterizations cross the phantom divide at z~0.25 • The parametrization with the best χ2is oscillating Crossing Phantom Divide w=-1 Lazkoz, Nesseris, LP 2005

  6. Best Fit (Uncorrelated Gold)

  7. Comparison with SNLS Trunc. Gold (140 points, z<1) SNLS (115 points z<1) Full Gold (157 points, z<1.7) SNLS data show no trend for crossing the phantom divide w=-1! S. Nesseris, L.P. Phys. Rev. D72:123519, 2005 astro-ph/0511040 Q: What do other cosmological data favor?

  8. Best Fits for w(z) Gold dataset Riess -et. al. (2004) SNLS dataset Astier -et. al. (2005) Other data: CMB, BAO, LSS, Clusters Other data: CMB, BAO, LSS, Clusters S.

  13. Basic Questions Q1: What theories are consistent with range of observed H(z)? • Cosmological Constant • Quintessence • Extended (Scalar–Tensor) Quintessence • Braneworld models (eg DGP) • Barotropic fluids (eg Chaplygin Gas) Q2: What forms of H(z) are inconsistent with each theory? (forbidden sectors) Q3: What is the overlap of the observationally allowed range of H(z)with the forbidden sector of each theory? Goal:Address Q2-Q3 for Extended Quintessence

  22. Varying G and SnIa Analysis SnIa Absolute Luminosity: Steps of Analysis: 1. Assume G(z) parametrization consistent with Solar System + Nucleosynthesis bounds 2. Consider modified magnitude-redshift relation 3. Minimize χ2

  23. Contour Modification for Varying G The shift of the contours is not significantcompared to the area of the contours.
