Abstract

Tachyonic scalar field-driven late universe with dust matter content is considered. The cosmic expansion is modeled with power-law and phantom power-law expansion at late time, i.e. . WMAP7 and its combined data are used to constraint the model. The forms of potential and the field solution are different for quintessence and tachyonic cases. Power-law cosmology model (driven by either quintessence or tachyonic field) predicts unmatched equation of state parameter to the observational value, hence the power-law model is excluded for both quintessence and tachyonic field. In the opposite, the phantom power-law model predicts agreeing valued of equation of state parameter with the observational data for both quintessence and tachyonic cases, i.e. (WMAP7+BAO+) and (WMAP7). The phantom-power law exponent must be less than about -6, so that the . The phantom power-law tachyonic potential is reconstructed. We found that dimensionless potential slope variable at present is about 1.5. The tachyonic potential reduced to in the limit .
