Abstract

We compile an updated list of 38 measurements of the Hubble parameter between redshifts and use them to place constraints on model parameters of constant and time-varying dark energy cosmological models, both spatially flat and curved. We use five models to measure the redshift of the cosmological deceleration-acceleration transition, , from these data. Within the error bars, the measured are insensitive to the model used, depending only on the value assumed for the Hubble constant . The weighted mean of our measurements is for km s Mpc and should provide a reasonably model-independent estimate of this cosmological parameter. The data are consistent with the standard spatially-flat CDM cosmological model but do not rule out non-flat models or dynamical dark energy models.
