“…This has resulted in the first mapping out of the cosmological deceleration-acceleration transition, the epoch when dark energy took over from nonrelativistic matter, and the first measurement of the redshift of this transition (see, e.g., Moresco et al 2016). 4 H(z) measurements have also been used to constrain some more conventional cosmological parameters, such as the density of dark energy and the density of nonrelativistic matter (see, e.g., Samushia & Ratra 2006;Chen & Ratra 2011b;Chimento & Richarte 2013;Ferreira et al 2013;Akarsu et al 2014;Bamba et al 2014;Capozziello et al 2014;Dankiewicz et al 2014;Forte 2014;Gruber & Luongo 2014;Chen et al 2015;Meng et al 2015;Alam et al 2016;Guo & Zhang 2016;Mukherjee & Banerjee 2016), typically providing constraints comparable to or better than those provided by SN Ia data, but not as good as those from BAO or CMB anisotropy measurements. More recently, H(z) data have been used to measure the Hubble constant H 0 (Verde et al 2014;Chen et al 2016a), with the resulting H 0 value being more consistent with recent lower values determined from a median statistics analysis of Huchra's H 0 compilation (Chen & Ratra 2011a), from CMB anisotropy data (Hinshaw et al 2013;Sievers et al 2013;Ade et al 2015), from BAO measurements (Aubourg et al 2015;Ross et al 2015;L'Huillier & Shafieloo 2016), and from current cosmological data and the standard model of particle physics with only three light neutrino species (see, e.g., Calabrese et al 2012).…”
