In the present paper, we investigate three scalar fields, qu field, phantom field and tachyon field, to explore the source of dark energy, using the Gaussian processes method from the background data and perturbation growth rate data. The corresponding reconstructions all suggest that the dark energy should be dynamical. Moreover, the quintom field, a combination between qu field and phantom field, is powerfully favored by the data within 68% confidence level. Using the mean values of scalar field $phi$ and potential $V$, we fit the function $V(phi)$ in different fields. The fitted results imply that potential $V(phi)$ in each scalar field may be a double exponential function or Gaussian function. The Gaussian processes reconstructions also indicate that the tachyon scalar field cannot be convincingly favored by the data and is at a disadvantage to describe the dark energy.

We use the Constitution supernova, the baryon acoustic oscillation, the cosmic microwave background, and the Hubble parameter data to analyze the evolution property of dark energy. We obtain different results when we fit different baryon acoustic osc illation data combined with the Constitution supernova data to the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder model. We find that the difference stems from the different values of $Omega_{m0}$. We also fit the observational data to the model independent piecewise constant parametrization. Four redshift bins with boundaries at $z=0.22$, 0.53, 0.85 and 1.8 were chosen for the piecewise constant parametrization of the equation of state parameter $w(z)$ of dark energy. We find no significant evidence for evolving $w(z)$. With the addition of the Hubble parameter, the constraint on the equation of state parameter at high redshift isimproved by 70%. The marginalization of the nuisance parameter connected to the supernova distance modulus is discussed.

We focus on three scalar-field dark energy models (i.e., $phi$CDM models), which behave like cosmological trackers with potentials $V(phi)propto phi^{-alpha}$ (inverse power-law (IPL) model), $V(phi)propto coth^{alpha}{phi}$ (L-model) and $V(phi)prop to cosh(alphaphi)$ (Oscillatory tracker model). The three $phi$CDM models, which reduce to the $Lambda$CDM model with the parameter $alpha to 0$, are investigated and compared with the recent observations of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). The observational constraints from the combining sample (SNe Ia + BAO + CMB) indicate that none of the three $phi$CDM models exclude the $Lambda$CDM model at $68.3%$ confidence level, and a closed universe is strongly supported in the scenarios of the three $phi$CDM models (at 68.3% confidence level). Furthermore, we apply the Bayesian evidence to compare the $phi$CDM models and the $Lambda$CDM model with the analysis of the combining sample. The concordance $Lambda$CDM model is still the most supported one. In addition, among the three $phi$CDM models, the IPL model is the most competitive one, while the L-model/Oscillatory tacker model is moderately/strongly disfavored.
We constrain the parameters of dynamical dark energy in the form of a classical or tachyonic scalar field with barotropic equation of state jointly with other cosmological ones using the combined datasets which include the CMB power spectra from WMAP 7, the baryon acoustic oscillations in the space distribution of galaxies from SDSS DR7, the power spectrum of luminous red galaxies from SDSS DR7 and the light curves of SN Ia from 2 different compilations: Union2 (SALT2 light curve fitting) and SDSS (SALT2 and MLCS2k2 light curve fittings). It has been found that the initial value of dark energy equation of state parameter is constrained very weakly by most of the data while the rest of main cosmological parameters are well constrained: their likelihoods and posteriors are similar, have the forms close to Gaussian (or half-Gaussian) and their confidential ranges are narrow. The most reliable determinations of the best fitting value and $1sigma$ confidence range for the initial value of dark energy equation of state parameter were obtained from the combined datasets including SN Ia data from the full SDSS compilation with MLCS2k2 fitting of light curves. In all such cases the best fitting value of this parameter is lower than the value of corresponding parameter for current epoch. Such dark energy loses its repulsive properties and in future the expansion of the Universe will change into contraction. We also perform an error forecast for the Planck mock data and show that they narrow essentially the confidential ranges of cosmological parameters values, moreover, their combination with SN SDSS compilation with MLCS2k2 light curve fitting may exclude the fields with initial equation of state parameter $>-0.1$ at 2$sigma$ confidential level.
Two types of interacting dark energy models are investigated using the type Ia supernova (SNIa), observational $H(z)$ data (OHD), cosmic microwave background (CMB) shift parameter and the secular Sandage-Loeb (SL) test. We find that the inclusion of SL test can obviously provide more stringent constraint on the parameters in both models. For the constant coupling model, the interaction term including the SL test is estimated at $delta=-0.01 pm 0.01 (1sigma) pm 0.02 (2sigma)$, which has been improved to be only a half of original scale on corresponding errors. Comparing with the combination of SNIa and OHD, we find that the inclusion of SL test directly reduces the best-fit of interaction from 0.39 to 0.10, which indicates that the higher-redshift observation including the SL test is necessary to track the evolution of interaction. For the varying coupling model, we reconstruct the interaction $delta (z)$, and find that the interaction is also negative similar as the constant coupling model. However, for high redshift, the interaction generally vanishes at infinity. The constraint result also shows that the $Lambda$CDM model still behaves a good fit to the observational data, and the coincidence problem is still quite severe. However, the phantom-like dark energy with $w_X<-1$ is slightly favored over the $Lambda$CDM model.
The recent GW170817 measurement favors the simplest dark energy models, such as a single scalar field. Quintessence models can be classified in two classes, freezing and thawing, depending on whether the equation of state decreases towards $-1$ or de parts from it. In this paper we put observational constraints on the parameters governing the equations of state of tracking freezing, scaling freezing and thawing models using updated data, from the Planck 2015 release, joint light-curve analysis and baryonic acoustic oscillations. Because of the current tensions on the value of the Hubble parameter $H_0$, unlike previous authors, we let this parameter vary, which modifies significantly the results. Finally, we also derive constraints on neutrino masses in each of these scenarios.
