Observational Constraints on Silent Quartessence

Abstract

We derive new constraints set by SNIa experiments (`gold' data sample of Riess et al.), X-ray galaxy cluster data (Allen et al. Chandra measurements of the X-ray gas mass fraction in 26 clusters), large scale structure (Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectrum) and cosmic microwave background (WMAP) on the quartessence Chaplygin model. We consider both adiabatic perturbations and intrinsic non-adiabatic perturbations such that the effective sound speed vanishes (Silent Chaplygin). We show that for the adiabatic case, only models with equation of state parameter $|\alpha |\lesssim 10^{-2}$ are allowed: this means that the allowed models are very close to \LambdaCDM. In the Silent case, however, the results are consistent with observations in a much broader range, -0.3<α<0.7.
