Probing the matter and dark energy sources in a viable Big Rip model of the Universe [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1404.1910


We study a viable cosmological model, which offers a Big Rip future of the Universe. The model arises from a naturally motivated linearly time varying equation of state parameter for the effective cosmic fluid that fills the fabric of spatially flat and homogeneous Robertson-Walker spacetime in general relativity. The model exhibits two worthy features: (i) It fits the observational data from the latest $H(z)$ and Union 2.1 SN Ia compilations matching the success of $\Lambda$CDM model. (ii) It describes the evolution of the Universe from the matter-dominated phase to the recent accelerating phase similar to the $\Lambda$CDM model but leads to Big Rip end of the Universe contrary to the de Sitter one in the $\Lambda$CDM model. We investigate the matter and dark energy sources in the model, in particular, behavior of the dynamical dark energy responsible for the Big Rip end of Universe.
