Constraints on Dark Energy from the Gravitational Wave Background
Abstract
Current observational data indicate that dark energy (DE) is a cosmological constant without considering its conclusiveness evidence. Considering the dynamic nature of individually as a function of time and the scale factor, we review their effects on the gravitational waves. This article is a continuation of the previous work \textit{JHEAp 36 (2022) 48-54}, in which DE only was based on Hubble's parameter and/or its derivatives. For the DE model based on the scale factor (), the results showed that the parameter is more limited as compared with the other models and due to the small value of DE density at the early universe. It is only in the mode that DE affects the low-frequency gravitational waves when its frequency is less than the Hz in a matter-dominated epoch. The broad bound on reducing the amplitude and the "B-B" polarization multipole coefficients, from maximum to minimum, is for the models developed based on the Hubble parameter function. There are primary sources of low- and very low-frequency GWs, such as the coalescence of massive black hole binaries with , to determine the type of DE by mHz frequency space experiments (e.g., LISA) and by nHz-range NANOGrav 15-year data.
