Reconstruction of Deceleration Parameters from Recent Cosmic Observations

Astrophysics 2009-11-13 v2

Abstract

In this paper, three kinds of simple parameterized deceleration parameters q(z)=a+bz1+zq(z)=a+\frac{b z}{1+z}, q(z)=a+bz(1+z)2q(z)=a+\frac{b z}{(1+z)^2} and q(z)=1/2+az+b(1+z)2q(z)={1/2}+\frac{a z+b}{(1+z)^2} are reconstructed from the latest Sne Ia Gold dataset, observational Hubble data and their combination. It is found that the transition redshift from decelerated expansion to accelerated expansion zTz_T and current decelerated parameter values q0q_0 are consistent with each other in 1σ1\sigma region by only using Sne Ia Gold dataset and observational Hubble data in three parameterizations respectively. By combining the Sne Ia Gold dataset and observational Hubble data together, a tight constraint is obtained. With this combined constraints, zTz_T is 0.5050.052+0.0800.505^{+0.080}_{-0.052}, 0.3680.036+0.0590.368^{+0.059}_{-0.036}, 0.7670.126+0.1210.767^{+0.121}_{-0.126} with 1σ1\sigma error in three parameterizations respectively. And, it is easy to see that zTz_T separates from each other in 1σ1\sigma region clearly.

7 pages, 3 figures, 4 tables. Observational Hubble data alone as a cosmic constraint is added. Some references are added. The whole paper has almost been rewritten completely
