نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent data, including the three–year WMAP data, the full 2dF galaxy power spectrum and the first–year data of the Supernova Legacy Survey, are used to constrain model parameters in quintessence cosmologies. In particular, we discuss the inverse power–law (RP) and SUGRA potentials and compare parameter constraints with those for ΛCDM. Both potentials fit current observations with a goodness of fit comparable or better than ΛCDM. The constraints on the energy scale Λ DE appearing in both potential expressions are however different. For RP, only energy scales around the cosmological constant limit are allowed, making the allowed models quite similar to ΛCDM. For SUGRA, Λ DE values approximately up to Electroweak energy scale are still allowed, while other parameter intervals are slightly but significantly displaced. In particular a value of the primeval spectral index n s = 1 is still allowed at the 95 % c.l., and this can have an impact on constraints on possible inflationary potentials.

A survey is made of the present observational status on cosmological parameters from microwave background anisotropies. I then move to some non-standard aspect of parameter extraction like quintessence, extra-background of relativistic particles and variations in fundamental constants.

The feasibility to unambiguously determine the nature of the cosmic dark energy with future supernovae experimental data is investigated. We work with four kinds of quintessential components : a cosmological constant, a general barotropic fluid, a perfect fluid with a linear equation-of-state and a more physical model based on a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson field. The standard χ method is used....

Quintessence – the energy density of a slowly evolving scalar field – may constitute a dynamical form of the homogeneous dark energy in the universe. We review the basic idea and indicate observational tests which may distinguish quintessence from a cosmological constant.
