Abstract

We investigate the recent - low redshift - expansion history of the universe using the most recent observational data. Using only data from 42 measurements of fgasf_{gas} in clusters, we found that cosmic acceleration could have already peaked and we are witnessing now its slowing down. This effect, found previously by Shafieloo, Sahni and Starobinsky in 2010 using supernova data (at that time the Constitution SNIa sample) appears again using an independent observational probe. We also discuss the result using the most recent Union 2.1 data set.
