摘要:

我们将Daly & Djorgovski早期开发的一种独立于模型的分析方法扩展到超新星标准烛光、射电星系和星系团标准标尺的新样本中,并将其应用于约束作为红移函数的暗能量的物理性质。射电星系和超新星数据集也得到了类似的结果。距离的一阶和二阶导数直接与基于广义相对论的标准模型中的预测进行比较。良好的一致性表明,广义相对论提供了一个准确的描述数据的时间尺度约为100亿年。一阶和二阶导数相结合,以获得加速度参数,假设只有罗伯逊-沃克度规的有效性,独立的引力理论和物理性质的暗能量。分析表明宇宙在当前时期的加速度。探讨了非零空间曲率对q(z)的影响。我们解决的压力,能量密度,状态方程,和潜在的和动能的暗能量作为红移的函数,假设广义相对论是正确的引力理论,结果表明,一个宇宙学常数在一个空间平坦的宇宙提供了一个很好的描述这些量的红移范围从零到约1。我们定义了一个新的功能,暗能量指标,在第一和第二导数的坐标距离,并显示如何可以用来测量偏差的w从-1,并获得一个新的和独立的措施欧米茄。

英文摘要:

We extend and apply a model-independent analysis method developed earlier by Daly & Djorgovski to new samples of supernova standard candles, radio galaxy and cluster standard rulers, and use it to constrain physical properties of the dark energy as functions of redshift. Similar results are obtained for the radio galaxy and supernova data sets. The first and second derivatives of the distance are compared directly with predictions in a standard model based on General Relativity. The good agreement indicates that General Relativity provides an accurate description of the data on look-back time scales of about ten billion years. The first and second derivatives are combined to obtain the acceleration parameter, assuming only the validity of the Robertson-Walker metric, independent of a theory of gravity and of the physical nature of the dark energy. The acceleration of the universe at the current epoch is indicated by the analysis. The effect of non-zero space curvature on q(z) is explored. We solve for the pressure, energy density, equation of state, and potential and kinetic energy of the dark energy as functions of redshift assuming that General Relativity is the correct theory of gravity, and the results indicate that a cosmological constant in a spatially flat universe provides a good description of each of these quantities over the redshift range from zero to about one. We define a new function, the dark energy indicator, in terms of the first and second derivatives of the coordinate distance and show how this can be used to measure deviations of w from -1 and to obtain a new and independent measure of Omega.
