We use a parameterized equation of state (EOS) of dark energy to a 5D Ricci-flat cosmological solution and suppose the universe contains two major components: dark matter and dark energy. Using the recent observational datasets: the latest 182 type Ia Supernovae Gold data, the three-year WMAP CMB shift parameter and the SDSS baryon acoustic peak, we obtain the best fit values of the EOS and two major components' evolution. We find that the best fit EOS crosses -1 in the near past where z ≃ 0.07, the present best fit value of wx(0) < -1 and for this model, the universe experiences the acceleration at about z ≃ 0.5.

ABSTRACT Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are mysterious radio bursts with a time-scale of approximately milliseconds. Two populations of FRB, namely repeating and non-repeating FRBs, are observationally identified. However, the differences between these two and their origins are still cloaked in mystery. Here we show the time-integrated luminosity–duration (Lν–wint, rest) relations and luminosity functions (LFs) of repeating and non-repeating FRBs in the FRB Catalogue project. These two populations are obviously separated in the Lν-wint, rest plane with distinct LFs, i.e. repeating FRBs have relatively fainter Lν and longer wint, rest with a much lower LF. In contrast with non-repeating FRBs, repeating FRBs do not show any clear correlation between Lν and wint, rest. These results suggest essentially different physical origins of the two. The faint ends of the LFs of repeating and non-repeating FRBs are higher than volumetric occurrence rates of neutron star (NS) mergers and accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of white dwarfs (WDs), and are consistent with those of soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), magnetars, and WD mergers. This indicates two possibilities: either (i) faint non-repeating FRBs originate in NS mergers or AIC and are actually repeating during the lifetime of the progenitor, or (ii) faint non-repeating FRBs originate in any of SGRs, SNe Ia, magnetars, and WD mergers. The bright ends of LFs of repeating and non-repeating FRBs are lower than any candidates of progenitors, suggesting that bright FRBs are produced from a very small fraction of the progenitors regardless of the repetition. Otherwise, they might originate in unknown progenitors.

We present a general overview of recent results in the searches for dark matter and dark energy. We discuss the observation of the collision between two clusters of galaxies, and the impact this has on the relevance of dark matter. We then present the final results from microlensing experiments, which aimed at detecting dark baryonic objects in the halo of our galaxy, and the status of direct searches for WIMPs. We present the evidence for dark energy which initially comes from experiments dedicated to the study of distant type Ia supernovae. The measure of the baryon acoustic oscillation, an independent probe of the evolution of our universe that has recently brought interesting constraints, is finally described.

The type Ia supernovae observational data are used to estimate the parameters of a cosmological model with cold dark matter and the Chaplygin gas. This exotic gas, which is characterized by a negative pressure varying with the inverse of density, represents in this model the dark energy responsible for the acceleration of the Universe. The Chaplygin gas model depends essentially on four parameters: the Hubble constant, the velocity of the sound of the Chaplygin gas, the curvature of the Universe and the fraction density of the Chaplygin gas and the cold dark matter. The Bayesian parameter estimation yields [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. These and other results indicate that a Universe completely dominated by the Chaplygin gas is favoured, what reinforces the idea that the Chaplygin gas may unify the description for dark matter and dark energy, at least as the type Ia supernovae data are concerned. A closed and accelerating Universe is also favoured. The Bayesian statistics indicates that the Chaplygin gas model is more likely than the standard cosmological constant (ΛCDM) model at 55.3% confidence level when an integration on all free parameters is performed. Assuming the spatially flat curvature, this percentage mounts to 65.3%. On the other hand, if the density of dark matter is fixed at zero value, the Chaplygin gas model becomes more preferred than the ΛCDM model at 91.8% confidence level. Finally, the hypothesis of flat Universe and baryonic matter (Ωb0=0.04) implies a Chaplygin gas model preferred over the ΛCDM at a confidence level of 99.4%.
