Constraints on Dark Energy from New Observations including Pan-STARRS

Abstract

In this paper, we set the new limits on the equation of state parameter (EoS) of dark energy with the observations of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) from Planck satellite, the type Ia supernovae from Pan-STARRS and the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO). We consider two parametrization forms of EoS: a constant $w$ and time evolving $w(a)=w_0+w_a(1-a)$. The results show that with a constant EoS, $w=-1.141\pm 0.075$ ($68\%C.L.$), which is consistent with $\Lambda$CDM at about $2\sigma$ confidence level. For a time evolving $w(a)$ model, we get $w_0=-1.09_{-0.18}^{+0.16}$ ($1\sigma C.L.$), $w_a=-0.34_{-0.51}^{+0.87}$ ($1\sigma C.L.$), and in this case $\Lambda$CDM can be comparable with our observational data at $1\sigma$ confidence level. In order to do the parametrization independent analysis, additionally we adopt the so called principal component analysis (PCA) method, in which we divide redshift range into several bins and assume $w$ as a constant in each redshift bin (bin-w). In such bin-w scenario, we find that for most of the bins cosmological constant can be comparable with the data, however, there exists few bins which give $w$ deviating from $\Lambda$CDM at more than $2\sigma$ confidence level, which shows a weak hint for the time evolving behavior of dark energy. To further confirm this hint, we need more data with higher precision.
