Observational constraints on decaying vacuum dark energy model

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

The decaying vacuum model (DV), treating dark energy as a varying vacuum, has been studied well recently. The vacuum energy decays linearly with the Hubble parameter in the late-times, ρΛ(t)∝H(t)ρ_Λ(t) \propto H(t), and produces the additional matter component. We constrain the parameters of the DV model using the recent data-sets from supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, baryon acoustic oscillations, CMB, the Hubble rate and x-rays in galaxy clusters. It is found that the best fit of matter density contrast ΩmΩ_m in the DV model is much lager than that in ΛΛCDM model. We give the confidence contours in the Ωm−hΩ_m-h plane up to 3σ3σ confidence level. Besides, the normalized likelihoods of ΩmΩ_m and hh are presented, respectively. %
