Radio Galaxy Redshift-Angular Size Data Constraints on Dark Energy

Astrophysics 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

We use FRIIb radio galaxy redshift-angular size data to constrain cosmological parameters in a dark energy scalar field model. The derived constraints are consistent with but weaker than those determined using Type Ia supernova redshift-magnitude data.
