Abstract: (EDP Sciences)
We perform Monte Carlo simulations based on current age estimates ofhigh-z objects to forecast constraints on the equation of state (EoS)of the dark energy. In our analysis, we use two different EoS parameterizations, namely,the so-called Chevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL) and its uncorrelated form, and calculatethe improvements on the figure of merit (FoM) for both cases. Although there is a cleardependence of the FoM with the size and accuracy of the synthetic age samples, we findthat the most substantial gain in FoM comes from a joint analysis involving age and baryonacoustic oscillation data.Note:
