Abstract [en]

This paper uses the Pantheon+ data set that consists of 1701 light curves of 1550 unique type IaSupernova to find constraints on various cosmological models and compare them with a varying darkenergy model proposed by Chevallier, Polarski and Linder in the early 2000s and analyze it deeper.The results show a tipping point from a decelerating universe to an accelerating one at a redshift ofz = 0.35, and a second tipping point back to a decelerating universe in the future at z = −0.19. The flatChevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL) model leads to a matter dominated universe with Ωm = 0.52 ± 0.08while the relative dark energy density Ωde = 0.48±0.08. Finally, taking all these models and comparingthem with the results that are found from Taylor expanding the distance relation shows that they aremostly consistent with a deceleration parameter around q0 = −0.28.
