摘要
We combine complementary datasets to constrain dark energy. Using standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and the observed abundances of primordial nuclides to put constraints on Omega(Q) at temperatures near T similar to 1MeV, we find the strong constraint Omega(Q)(MeV) < 0.045 at 2sigma c.l.. Under the assumption of flatness, using results from Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy measurements, high redshift supernovae (SN-Ia) observations and data from local cluster abundances we put a new constraint on the equation of state parameter w(Q) < -0.85 at 68% c.l..
