The tomographic Alcock-Paczynski (AP) method can result in tight cosmological constraints by using small and intermediate clustering scales of the large scale structure (LSS) of the galaxy distribution. By focusing on the redshift dependence, the AP distortion can be distinguished from the distortions produced by the redshift space distortions (RSD). In this work, we combine the tomographic AP method with other recent observational datasets of SNIa+BAO+CMB+H 0 to reconstruct the dark energy equation-of-state w in a non-parametric form. The result favors a dynamical DE at z 1, and shows a mild deviation ( 2σ) from w = −1 at z = 0.5 − 0.7. We find the addition of the AP method improves the low redshift (z 0.7) constraint by ∼ 50%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
