abstract

We revisit the theoretical priors used for inferring Dark Energy (DE) parameters. Any DE model must have some form of a tracker mechanism such that it behaved as matter or radiation in the past. Otherwise, the model is fine-tuned. We construct a model-independent parametrization that takes this prior into account and allows for a relatively sudden transition between radiation/matter to DE behavior. We match the parametrization with current data, and deduce that the adiabatic and effective sound speeds of DE play an important role in inferring the cosmological parameters. We find that there is a preferred transition redshift of $1+z\simeq 29-30$, and some reduction in the Hubble and Large Scale Structure tensions.

  1. BAO miscalibration cannot rescue late-time solutions to the Hubble tension

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Even after rescaling BAO data to prefer H0≈73 km/s/Mpc, none of six tested late-time dark-energy models can resolve the Hubble tension once unanchored SNeIa and CMB geometry are included.

  2. Evidence for non-cold dark matter from DESI DR2 measurements

    astro-ph.CO 2025-04 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    DESI BAO plus DES-Y5 supernovae favor a slightly negative dark matter equation of state at 2.4 sigma, but combining with Planck moves the best fit to a positive value, exposing a dataset-dependent tension.
