Formation of Large Structures in the Acceleration Universe with a Hybrid Expansion Law
In the current paper, we have studied the effect of dark energy on for-mation where dark energy exists in the background. For this purpose, we used both WMAP9 and Planck data to study how the radius changes with redshift in these mod-els. We used different data sets to fix the cosmological parameters to obtain a solution for a spherical region under collapse. The mechanism of structure formation f...
متن کاملDirect Determinations of the Redshift Behavior of the Pressure, Energy Density, and Equation of State of the Dark Energy and the Acceleration of the Universe
One of the goals of current cosmological studies is the determination of the expansion and acceleration rates of the universe as functions of redshift, and the determination of the properties of the dark energy that can explain these observations. Here the expansion and acceleration rates are determined directly from the data, without the need for the specification of a theory of gravity, and w...
متن کاملA Nearly Model-Independent Characterization of Dark Energy Properties as a Function of Redshift
Understanding the acceleration of the universe and its cause is one of the key problems in physics and cosmology today, and is best studied using a variety of mutually complementary approaches. Daly and Djorgovski (2003, 2004) proposed a model independent approach to determine the expansion and acceleration history of the universe and a number of important physical parameters of the dark energy...
متن کاملRadio Galaxies and the Acceleration of the Universe beyond a Redshift of One
Radio galaxies provide a means to determine the coordinate distance, the luminosity distance, the dimensionless luminosity distance, or the angular size distance to sources with redshifts as large as two. Dimensionless coodinate distances for 55 supernovae and 20 radio galaxies are presented and discussed here. The radio galaxy results are consistent with those obtained using supernovae, sugges...
متن کاملDirect Constraints on the Properties and Evolution of Dark Energy
We describe a method to derive the expansion and acceleration rates directly from the data, without the need for the specification of a theory of gravity, and without adopting an a priori parameterization of the form or redshift evolution of the dark energy. If one also specifies a theory of gravity we can also determine the pressure, energy density, and equation of state of the dark energy as ...
