Dynamical dark energy: Current constraints and forecasts
Open accessAbstract
We consider how well the dark energy equation of state $w$ as a function of redshift $z$ will be measured using current and anticipated experiments. We use a procedure which takes fair account of the uncertainties in the functional dependence of $w$ on $z$, as well as the parameter degeneracies, and avoids the use of strong prior constraints. We apply the procedure to current data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and the supernova searches, and obtain results that are consistent with other analyses using different combinations of data sets. The effects of systematic experimental errors and variations in the analysis technique are discussed. Next, we use the same procedure to forecast the dark energy constraints achievable by the end of the decade, assuming 8 years of Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe data and realistic projections for ground-based measurements of supernovae and weak lensing. We find the $2\ensuremath{\sigma}$ constraints on the current value of $w$ to be $\ensuremath{\Delta}{w}_{0}(2\ensuremath{\sigma})=0.20$, and on $dw/dz$ (between $z=0$ and $z=1$) to be $\ensuremath{\Delta}{w}_{1}(2\ensuremath{\sigma})=0.37$. Finally, we compare these limits to other projections in the literature. Most show only a modest improvement; others show a more substantial improvement, but there are serious concerns about systematics. The remaining uncertainty still allows a significant span of competing dark energy models. Most likely, new kinds of measurements, or experiments more sophisticated than those currently planned, are needed to reveal the true nature of dark energy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
