We examine dark energy models in which a phantom field $\phi$ is rolling near a local minimum of its potential $V(\phi)$.We require that $(1/V)(dV/d\phi) \ll 1$, but $(1/V)(d^2 V/d\phi^2)$ can be large. Using techniques developed in the…
We examine phantom dark energy models produced by a field with a negative kinetic term and a potential that satisfies the slow roll conditions: [(1/V)(dV/dphi)]^2 << 1 and (1/V)(d^2 V/dphi^2) << 1. Such models provide a natural mechanism to…
