Quintessence or Phoenix?

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We show that it is impossible to determine the state equation of quintessence models on the basis of pure observational SNIa data. An independent estimate of ΩM0\Omega_{M0} is necessary. Also in this most favourable case the situation can be problematic.
