We obtained constraints on a 12 parameter extended cosmological scenario including non-phantom dynamical dark energy (NPDDE) with CPL parametrization. We also include the six $Lambda$CDM parameters, number of relativistic neutrino species ($N_{textrm{eff}}$) and sum over active neutrino masses ($sum m_{ u}$), tensor-to-scalar ratio ($r_{0.05}$), and running of the spectral index ($n_{run}$). We use CMB Data from Planck 2015; BAO Measurements from SDSS BOSS DR12, MGS, and 6dFS; SNe Ia Luminosity Distance measurements from the Pantheon Sample; CMB B-mode polarization data from BICEP2/Keck collaboration (BK14); Planck lensing data; and a prior on Hubble constant ($73.24pm1.74$ km/sec/Mpc) from local measurements (HST). We have found strong bounds on the sum of the active neutrino masses. For instance, a strong bound of $sum m_{ u} <$ 0.123 eV (95% C.L.) comes from Planck+BK14+BAO. Although we are in such an extended parameter space, this bound is stronger than a bound of $sum m_{ u} <$ 0.158 eV (95% C.L.) obtained in $Lambda textrm{CDM}+sum m_{ u}$ with Planck+BAO. Varying $A_{textrm{lens}}$ instead of $r_{0.05}$ however leads to weaker bounds on $sum m_{ u}$. Inclusion of the HST leads to the standard value of $N_{textrm{eff}} = 3.045$ being discarded at more than 68% C.L., which increases to 95% C.L. when we vary $A_{textrm{lens}}$ instead of $r_{0.05}$, implying a small preference for dark radiation, driven by the $H_0$ tension.

We present strong bounds on the sum of three active neutrino masses ($sum m_{ u}$) in various cosmological models. We use the following baseline datasets: CMB temperature data from Planck 2015, BAO measurements from SDSS-III BOSS DR12, the newly rele ased SNe Ia dataset from Pantheon Sample, and a prior on the optical depth to reionization from 2016 Planck Intermediate results. We constrain cosmological parameters in $Lambda CDM$ model with 3 massive active neutrinos. For this $Lambda CDM+sum m_{ u}$ model we find a upper bound of $sum m_{ u} <$ 0.152 eV at 95$%$ C.L. Adding the high-$l$ polarization data from Planck strengthens this bound to $sum m_{ u} <$ 0.118 eV, which is very close to the minimum required mass of $sum m_{ u} simeq$ 0.1 eV for inverted hierarchy. This bound is reduced to $sum m_{ u} <$ 0.110 eV when we also vary r, the tensor to scalar ratio ($Lambda CDM+r+sum m_{ u}$ model), and add an additional dataset, BK14, the latest data released from the Bicep-Keck collaboration. This bound is further reduced to $sum m_{ u} <$ 0.101 eV in a cosmology with non-phantom dynamical dark energy ($w_0 w_a CDM+sum m_{ u}$ model with $w(z)geq -1$ for all $z$). Considering the $w_0 w_a CDM+r+sum m_{ u}$ model and adding the BK14 data again, the bound can be even further reduced to $sum m_{ u} <$ 0.093 eV. For the $w_0 w_a CDM+sum m_{ u}$ model without any constraint on $w(z)$, the bounds however relax to $sum m_{ u} <$ 0.276 eV. Adding a prior on the Hubble constant ($H_0 = 73.24pm 1.74$ km/sec/Mpc) from Hubble Space Telescope (HST), the above mentioned bounds further improve to $sum m_{ u} <$ 0.117 eV, 0.091 eV, 0.085 eV, 0.082 eV, 0.078 eV and 0.247 eV respectively. This substantial improvement is mostly driven by a more than 3$sigma$ tension between Planck 2015 and HST measurements of $H_0$ and should be taken cautiously. (abstract abridged)
We investigate the possibility of phantom crossing in the dark energy sector and solution for the Hubble tension between early and late universe observations. We use robust combinations of different cosmological observations, namely the CMB, local me asurement of Hubble constant ($H_0$), BAO and SnIa for this purpose. For a combination of CMB+BAO data which is related to early Universe physics, phantom crossing in the dark energy sector is confirmed at $95$% confidence level and we obtain the constraint $H_0=71.0^{+2.9}_{-3.8}$ km/s/Mpc at 68% confidence level which is in perfect agreement with the local measurement by Riess et al. We show that constraints from different combination of data are consistent with each other and all of them are consistent with phantom crossing in the dark energy sector. For the combination of all data considered, we obtain the constraint $H_0=70.25pm 0.78$ km/s/Mpc at 68% confidence level and the phantom crossing happening at the scale factor $a_m=0.851^{+0.048}_{-0.031}$ at 68% confidence level.
Phantom dark energy can produce amplified cosmic acceleration at late times, thus increasing the value of $H_0$ favored by CMB data and releasing the tension with local measurements of $H_0$. We show that the best fit value of $H_0$ in the context of the CMB power spectrum is degenerate with a constant equation of state parameter $w$, in accordance with the approximate effective linear equation $H_0 + 30.93; w - 36.47 = 0$ ($H_0$ in $km ; sec^{-1} ; Mpc^{-1}$). This equation is derived by assuming that both $Omega_{0 rm m}h^2$ and $d_A=int_0^{z_{rec}}frac{dz}{H(z)}$ remain constant (for invariant CMB spectrum) and equal to their best fit Planck/$Lambda$CDM values as $H_0$, $Omega_{0 rm m}$ and $w$ vary. For $w=-1$, this linear degeneracy equation leads to the best fit $H_0=67.4 ; km ; sec^{-1} ; Mpc^{-1}$ as expected. For $w=-1.22$ the corresponding predicted CMB best fit Hubble constant is $H_0=74 ; km ; sec^{-1} ; Mpc^{-1}$ which is identical with the value obtained by local distance ladder measurements while the best fit matter density parameter is predicted to decrease since $Omega_{0 rm m}h^2$ is fixed. We verify the above $H_0-w$ degeneracy equation by fitting a $w$CDM model with fixed values of $w$ to the Planck TT spectrum showing also that the quality of fit ($chi^2$) is similar to that of $Lambda$CDM. However, when including SnIa, BAO or growth data the quality of fit becomes worse than $Lambda$CDM when $w< -1$. Finally, we generalize the $H_0-w(z)$ degeneracy equation for $w(z)=w_0+w_1; z/(1+z)$ and identify analytically the full $w_0-w_1$ parameter region that leads to a best fit $H_0=74; km ; sec^{-1} ; Mpc^{-1}$ in the context of the Planck CMB spectrum. This exploitation of $H_0-w(z)$ degeneracy can lead to immediate identification of all parameter values of a given $w(z)$ parametrization that can potentially resolve the $H_0$ tension.
In this work we have used the recent cosmic chronometers data along with the latest estimation of the local Hubble parameter value, $H_0$ at 2.4% precision as well as the standard dark energy probes, such as the Supernovae Type Ia, baryon acoustic os cillation distance measurements, and cosmic microwave background measurements (PlanckTT $+$ lowP) to constrain a dark energy model where the dark energy is allowed to interact with the dark matter. A general equation of state of dark energy parametrized by a dimensionless parameter `$beta$ is utilized. From our analysis, we find that the interaction is compatible with zero within the 1$sigma$ confidence limit. We also show that the same evolution history can be reproduced by a small pressure of the dark matter.
Dynamical dark energy has been recently suggested as a promising and physical way to solve the 3.4 sigma tension on the value of the Hubble constant $H_0$ between the direct measurement of Riess et al. (2016) (R16, hereafter) and the indirect constra int from Cosmic Microwave Anisotropies obtained by the Planck satellite under the assumption of a $Lambda$CDM model. In this paper, by parameterizing dark energy evolution using the $w_0$-$w_a$ approach, and considering a $12$ parameter extended scenario, we find that: a) the tension on the Hubble constant can indeed be solved with dynamical dark energy, b) a cosmological constant is ruled out at more than $95 %$ c.l. by the Planck+R16 dataset, and c) all of the standard quintessence and half of the downward going dark energy model space (characterized by an equation of state that decreases with time) is also excluded at more than $95 %$ c.l. These results are further confirmed when cosmic shear, CMB lensing, or SN~Ia luminosity distance data are also included. However, tension remains with the BAO dataset. A cosmological constant and small portion of the freezing quintessence models are still in agreement with the Planck+R16+BAO dataset at between 68% and 95% c.l. Conversely, for Planck plus a phenomenological $H_0$ prior, both thawing and freezing quintessence models prefer a Hubble constant of less than 70 km/s/Mpc. The general conclusions hold also when considering models with non-zero spatial curvature.
