Abstract

In this paper, we study a model which is composed by the cosmological constant and dark matter with nonzero equation of state parameter, which could be called as Λ\LambdawDM. In the synchronous gauge, we obtain the perturbation equations of dark matter, and deduce the evolution equations of growth factor about the dark matter and baryons. Based on the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method, we constrain this model by the recently available cosmic observations which include cosmic microwave background radiation, baryon acoustic oscillation, type Ia supernovae, and fσ8(z)f\sigma_8(z) data points from redshift-space distortion. The results present a tighter constraint on the model than the case without fσ8(z)f\sigma_8(z) data. In 3σ\sigma regions, we find the dark matter equation of state parameter wdmw_{dm}=0.0001110.0007010.001370.00180+0.000688+0.00136+0.001810.000111_{- 0.000701-0.00137-0.00180}^{+0.000688+0.00136+0.00181}. After an extra model parameter wdmw_{dm} is considered, the difference between the minimum values of χ2\chi^2 of our model and standard model is Δχmin2=0.598\Delta\chi^2_{min}=0.598. Although the currently available cosmic observations mildly favor the nonzero dark matter equation of state parameter, no significant deviation from the Λ\LambdaCDM model is found in 1σ\sigma region.
