abstract
Observations of high-redshift supernovae indicate that the universe is accelerating. Here we present a {\em model-independent} method for estimating the form of the potential $V(\phi)$ of the scalar field driving this acceleration, and the associated equation of state $w_\phi$. Our method is based on a versatile analytical form for the luminosity distance $D_L$, optimized to fit observed distances to distant supernovae and differentiated to yield $V(\phi)$ and $w_\phi$. Our results favor $w_\phi\simeq -1$ at the present epoch, steadily increasing with redshift. A cosmological constant is consistent with our results.

Effective Phantom Dark Energy: What Cosmological Reconstruction Does and Does Not Imply
Effective phantom dark energy is a background-level reconstruction that does not imply fundamental pathologies such as ghost instabilities or null energy condition violation by the underlying stress tensor.
