Observational constraints on the oscillating dark energy cosmologies

Abstract

In this study we combine the background and the growth rate data in order to study the ability of the two oscillating dark energy parameterizations, to fit the observational data. Using the likelihood and MCMC method we try to explore the posterior space and put constraints on the free parameters of the models. Based on the values of the well known Akaike and Bayesian information criteria we find that both of oscillating dark energy models considered in this work are disfavored by the combined (background+growth rate) data. Although using the expansion data we can not reject oscillating dark energy models, the combined analysis provides strong evidences against these models.
