A Confront between Amati and Combo Correlations at Intermediate and Early Redshifts

I consider two gamma-ray burst (GRB) correlations: Amati and Combo. After calibrating them in a cosmology-independent way by employing Beziér polynomials to approximate the Observational Hubble Dataset (OHD), I perform Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations within the Λ CDM and the wCDM models. The results from the Amati GRB dataset do not agree with the standard Λ CDM model at a confidence level ≥ 3 – σ . For the Combo correlation, all MCMC simulations give best-fit parameters which are consistent within 1– σ with the Λ CDM model. Pending the clarification of whether the diversity of these results is statistical, due to the difference in the dataset sizes, or astrophysical, implying the search for the most suited correlation for cosmological analyses, future investigations require larger datasets to increase the predictive power of both correlations and enable more refined analyses on the possible non-zero curvature of the Universe and the dark energy equation of state and evolution.

Tsallis Holographic Dark Energy in f(G,T) Gravity

In this paper, we study the reconstruction paradigm for Tsallis holographic dark energy model using generalized Tsallis entropy conjecture with Hubble horizon in the framework of f ( G , T ) gravity (G and T represent the Gauss-Bonnet invariant and trace of the energy-momentum tensor). We take the flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe model with dust fluid configuration. The cosmological evolution of reconstructed models is examined through cosmic diagnostic parameters and phase planes. The equation of the state parameter indicates phantom phase while the deceleration parameter demonstrates accelerated cosmic epoch for both conserved as well as non-conserved energy-momentum tensor. The squared speed of the sound parameter shows instability of the conserved model while stable non-conserved model for the entire cosmic evolutionary paradigm. The trajectories of the ω G T - ω G T ′ plane correspond to freezing as well as thawing regimes for the conserved and non-conserved scenario, respectively. The r - s plane gives phantom and quintessence dark energy epochs for conserved while Chaplygin gas model regime for the non-conserved case. We conclude that, upon the appropriate choice of the free parameters involved, the derived models demonstrate a self-consistent phantom universe behavior.
