Abstract: (arXiv)
The recent observations support that our universe is flat and expanding with acceleration. A quintessence model with a general relation between the quintessence potential and the quintessence kinetic energy was proposed to explain the phenomenon. The dark energy potential includes both the hyperbolic and the double exponential potentials. We analyze this model in detail by using the recent supernova and the first year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) observations. For a flat universe dominated by a dark energy with constant ω\omega which is a special case of the general model, we find that Ωm0=0.300.08+0.06\Omega_{\rm m0}=0.30^{+0.06}_{-0.08} and ωQ0.82\omega_{\rm Q}\le -0.82, and the turnaround redshift zTz_{\rm T} when the universe switched from the deceleration phase to the acceleration phase is zT=0.65z_{\rm T}=0.65. For the general model, we find that Ωm00.3\Omega_{\rm m0}\sim 0.3, ωQ01.0\omega_{\rm Q0}\sim -1.0, β0.5\beta\sim 0.5 and zT0.67z_{\rm T}\sim 0.67. A model independent polynomial parameterization is also considered, the best fit model gives Ωm0=0.40±0.14\Omega_{\rm m0}=0.40\pm 0.14, ωQ0=1.4\omega_{\rm Q0}=-1.4 and zT=0.37z_{\rm T}=0.37.
