Abstract

We investigate the cosmological constraints on the Variable Chaplygin gas model from the latest observational data: SCP Union 2.1 compilation dataset of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), Pantheon sample of SNe Ia, Platinum Sample of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB), and GWTC-3 of gravitational wave merger events. Variable Chaplygin gas is a model of interacting dark matter and dark energy, which interpolates from a dust-dominated era to a quintessence-dominated era. The Variable Chaplygin gas model is shown to be compatible with Type Ia Supernovae and gravitational merger data. We have obtained tighter constraints on cosmological parameters \(B_{s}\) and \(n\) using the Pantheon sample. Using the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method on the Pantheon sample, we obtain \(B_{s}=0.108 \pm 0.034\), \(n=1.157 \pm 0.513\) and \(H_{0}=70.020 \pm 0.407\). For GRBs, we get \(B_{s}=0.20 \pm 0.11\), \(n=1.45 \pm 1.40\) and \(H_{0}=70.41 \pm 0.67\), and on GWTC-3, we obtain \(B_{s}=0.130\pm 0.076\), \(n=0.897 \pm 1.182\) and \(H_{0}=69.838 \pm 3.007\). The combined constraints from the above data sets are \(B_{s}=0.11\pm 0.03\), \(n=1.14 \pm 0.36\) and \(H_{0}=70.34 \pm 0.61\).

Notes

  1. We have used the fact that for a flat Universe, \(\Omega _{b0}+\Omega _{r0}+\Omega _{ch0}=1\), i.e., the total matter density sums up to unity.
