Deviation from the Cosmological Constant or Systematic Errors?

Abstract

Motivated by the fact that both SNe Ia and GRBs seem to prefer a dark energy EOS greater than -1 at redshifts z0.5z \gtrsim 0.5, we perform a careful investigation on this situation. We find that the deviation of dark energy from the cosmological constant at redshifts z0.5z \gtrsim 0.5 is large enough that we should pay close attention to it with future observational data. Such a deviation may arise from some biasing systematic errors in the handling of SNe Ia and/or GRBs or more interestingly from the nature of the dark energy itself.
