Reconstruction of dark energy using DESI DR2
Abstract
Using a model-independent Gaussian process (GP) method to reconstruct the dimensionless luminosity distance and its derivatives, we derive the evolution of the dimensionless Hubble parameter , the deceleration parameter , and the state parameter of dark energy. We utilize the PantheonPlus, SH0ES, and Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) data to derive the dimensionless luminosity distance . Additionally, we employ observational data (OHD) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) from Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 2 (DR2) to obtain the first derivative of the dimensionless luminosity distance . To obtain the reconstructed and , we utilize the fiducial value from each dataset, with particular emphasis on the varying . According to the reconstruction results obtained from PantheonPlus+SH0ES+GRB+OHD and PantheonPlus+SH0ES+GRB+OHD+DESI data, we find that are consistent with the predictions of the CDM model at a confidence level within the redshift range of . However, the reconstruction results for exhibit deviations from the CDM model in the range of . Furthermore, we observe that the mean value of exhibits evolving behavior, transiting from to around . Combining data from DESI DR2 can slightly enhance the accuracy of our constraints.
