Determining the mechanism behind the current cosmic acceleration constitutes a major question nowadays in theoretical physics. If the dark energy route is taken, this problem may potentially bring to light new insights not only in Cosmology but also in high energy physics theories. Following this approach, we explore in this paper some cosmological consequences of a new time-dependent parameterization for the dark energy equation of state (EoS), which is a well behaved function of the redshift $z$ over the entire cosmological evolution, i.e., $z\in [-1,\infty)$. This parameterization allows us to divide the parametric plane $(w_0,w_1)$ in defined regions associated to distinct classes of dark energy models that can be confirmed or excluded from a confrontation with current observational data. A statistical analysis involving the most recent observations from type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillation peak, Cosmic Microwave Background shift parameter and Hubble evolution $H(z)$ is performed to check the observational viability of the EoS parameterization here proposed.

  1. Do equation of state parametrizations of dark energy faithfully capture the dynamics of the late universe?

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Node-based reconstruction of cosmic expansion prefers stronger deceleration at z≈1.7 than smooth DE EoS parametrizations, isolating z~1.5-2 as a window where the latter may compress localized kinematic features permit...

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0

    Flexible dark energy equation of state parametrizations mildly favor dynamical phantom-like behavior at z~1-2, but the preference is only ~2 sigma and sensitive to the model form and extrapolation.
