The satellite experiment WMAP has produced for the first time a high-coverage, high resolution survey of the microwave sky, releasing publicly available data that are likely to remain unrivalled for years to come. Here we compare the WMAP temperature power spectrum, along with an exhautive compilation of previous experiments, to models of dark energy that allow for a tracking epoch at the present, deriving updated bounds on the dark energy equation of state and the other cosmological parameters. Moreover, we complement the analysis by including a coupling of the dark energy to dark matter. The main results are: a) the WMAP data alone constrains the equation of state of tracking dark energy to be w_\phi<-0.67(-0.49) to 68%(95%) (confining the analysis to w_\phi>-1), which implies for an inverse power law potential an exponent \alpha<0.99(2.08); b) the dimensionless coupling to dark matter is |\beta|<0.07(0.13). Including the results from the supernovae Ia further constrains the dark energy equation of state.

  1. Dissipative Dark Energy can explain the DESI phantom crossing

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Weakly dissipative quintessence explains DESI phantom crossing in dark energy without pathological dynamics.

  2. Interacting dark energy in the early 2020s: a promising solution to the $H_0$ and cosmic shear tensions

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    An interacting dark energy model with coupling proportional to the dark energy density alleviates the H0 and S8 tensions in Planck 2018 data but is not preferred once BAO and supernova data are included.

  3. Fractional Dark Matter decay: cosmological imprints and observational constraints

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Cosmological data limit a pre-recombination decaying dark matter fraction to at most about 2.7%, and future kSZ measurements could provide an independent test.

  4. Probing the independence within the dark sector in the fluid approximation

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Current cosmological data show no statistically significant sign of an interaction between cold dark matter and dark energy, with LambdaCDM preferred, and future LSST and DESI data could constrain such a coupling at 2...

  5. Dark Energy Is Not That Into You: Variable Couplings after DESI DR2 BAO

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    With DESI DR2 data, one interacting dark sector model with a time-dependent coupling shows a nonzero coupling at more than 95% CL, but Bayesian evidence still favors Lambda-CDM.

  6. Solving an Interacting Quintessence Model with a Sound Horizon Initial Condition and its Observational Constraints

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    An interacting quintessence model with initial conditions set by the CMB sound horizon angle increases H0 with coupling strength, but observational constraints show it does not resolve the H0 or S8 tensions.
