Abstract

We apply the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure to analyze the wwCDM cosmological model. By using the full shape of the power spectrum and the BAO post-reconstruction measurements from BOSS, the Supernovae from Pantheon, and a prior from BBN, we set the competitive CMB-independent limit w=1.0460.052+0.055w=-1.046_{-0.052}^{+0.055} at 68%68\% C.L.. After adding the Planck CMB data, we find w=1.0230.030+0.033w=-1.023_{-0.030}^{+0.033} at 68%68\% C.L.. Our results are obtained using PyBird, a new, fast Python-based code which we make publicly available.
