Reconstruction of Dark Energy using Supernova and other datasets |
Abstract _ |
We explore different methods of extracting information about dark energy from the presently available data. Supernova data is of primary importance to the study of dark energy, and over the last decade, many different reconstruction methods have been applied to this data. In this talk, we summarize some methods of model independent reconstruction of dark energy from supernova data. We also look at the sensitivity of other complementary probes, such as the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in large scale structure, to the nature of dark energy. |
