Observational constraints on new generalized Chaplygin gas model    [PDF]

Kai Liao, Yu Pan, Zong-Hong Zhu
We use the latest data to investigate observational constraints on the new generalized Chaplygin gas (NGCG) model. Using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, we constrain the NGCG model with the type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from Union2 set (557 data), the usual baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) observation from the spectroscopic Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data release 7 (DR7) galaxy sample, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) observation from the 7-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP7) results, the newly revised $H(z)$ data, as well as a value of $\theta_{BAO} (z=0.55) = (3.90 \pm 0.38)^{\circ}$ for the angular BAO scale. The constraint results for NGCG model are $\omega_X = -1.0510_{-0.1685}^{+0.1563}(1\sigma)_{-0.2398}^{+0.2226}(2\sigma)$, $\eta = 1.0117_{-0.0502}^{+0.0469}(1\sigma)_{-0.0716}^{+0.0693}(2\sigma)$, and $\Omega_X = 0.7297_{-0.0276}^{+0.0229}(1\sigma)_{-0.0402}^{+0.0329}(2\sigma)$, which give a rather stringent constraint. From the results, we can see a phantom model is slightly favored and the probability that energy transfers from dark matter to dark energy is a little larger than the inverse.
