We analyse the constraints that can be placed on a cosmological constant or quintessence-like component by combining observations of Type Ia supernovae with measurements of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. We use the recent supernovae sample of Perlmutter et al and observations of the CMB anisotropies to constraint the equation of state (w_Q = p/rho) in quintessence-like models via a likelihood analysis. The 2 sigma upper limits are w_Q < -0.6 if the Universe is assumed to be spatially flat, and w_Q < -0.4 for universes of arbitrary spatial curvature. The upper limit derived for a spatially flat Universe is close to the lower limit (w_Q approx -0.7) allowed for simple potentials, implying that additional fine tuning may be required to construct a viable quintessence model.

  1. Data-Driven Discovery of a Simple Phantom-Crossing Dark Energy Parametrization

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Bayesian reconstruction and exhaustive symbolic regression on CMB, BAO, and supernova data yield the one-parameter dark energy parametrization w(a) = w0 / sqrt(a) that fits observations comparably to CPL and better th...

  2. 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.

  3. General parametrization for energy density of quintessence field

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A step-like parametrization of quintessence energy density reproduces all three known dark energy dynamics across redshifts, but cosmological data still prefer ΛCDM except in the CPL model.

  4. Background-level reconstruction of scalar-field potentials from dark-energy histories and comparison with analytic potential families

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    A background reconstruction maps prescribed ρ_de(z) histories to V(φ) and ranks analytic potentials by Bayesian evidence, with exponential preferred for CPL and shifted-tanh for sign-switching targets.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Evidence for dynamical dark energy in the w0waCDM framework is strongly dataset-dependent, driven by mismatches in low-redshift BAO distance ratios that produce divergent expansion histories and inconsistent Hubble te...

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A three-node spline reconstruction of holographic dark energy improves chi-squared over LambdaCDM by about 10 to 12, but Bayesian evidence gives no clear preference.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The viability of minimally and non-minimally coupled quintessence models is robust across CPL, JBP, BA, and EXP parameterizations, with all four reproducing the models' predicted observables accurately.

  9. Constraints on unimodular diffusion models with latest observables

    physics.gen-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Unimodular diffusion models with latest DESI/DESY5/Planck data show intermediate-time transitions and only mild, non-decisive preference over ΛCDM without resolving H0.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Bayesian evidence from DESI BAO plus CMB and SN data favors the standard CPL evolving dark energy model over both simpler constant-w and more complex higher-order extensions.
