Precision Constraints on New Dark Energy Parametrization from DESI BAO DR2

Abstract

In this article, we investigate a new parametrization of the dark energy equation of state (EoS) with a single parameter for a barotropic fluid that deviates from the standard $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. We derive observational constraints on the model parameters using recent datasets including Observational Hubble Data (OHD), Pantheon+SH0ES (PPS), and Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Baryon Acoustic Oscillations Data Release 2 (DESI BAO DR2). We constrain the best fit value of the parameter as, $\alpha =0.239 \pm 0.07$ at 68\% CL from joint analysis, which is non-null and suggests deviations from the cosmological constant. The model accommodates varying values of Hubble constant from different datasets and joint analysis yields $H_0 = 68.40 \pm 0.23$ $\mathrm{Km\,s^ {-1} Mpc^{-1}}$ at 68\% CL. We examine the physical behavior of the model by analyzing the deceleration parameter, the age of the universe, and the Om(z) diagnose. The deceleration parameter confirms a smooth transition from the past deceleration phase to the present cosmic acceleration as well as and also a second future transition back to deceleration, when PPS data is employed.
