The effect of quintessence perturbations on the ISW effect is studied for a mixed dynamical scalar field dark energy (DDE) and pressureless perfect fluid dark matter. A new and general methodology is developed to track the growth of the perturbations, which uses only the equation of state (EoS) parameter $w_{rm DDE} (z) equiv p_{rm DDE}/rho_{rm DDE}$ of the scalar field DDE, and the initial values of the the relative entropy perturbation (between the matter and DDE) and the intrinsic entropy perturbation of the scalar field DDE as inputs. We also derive a relation between the rest frame sound speed $hat{c}_{s,{rm DDE}}^2$ of an arbitrary DDE component and its EoS $w_{rm DDE} (z)$. We show that the ISW signal differs from that expected in a $Lambda$CDM cosmology by as much as +20% to -80% for parameterizations of $w_{rm DDE}$ consistent with SNIa data, and about $pm$ 20% for parameterizations of $w_{rm DDE}$ consistent with SNIa+CMB+BAO data, at 95% confidence. Our results indicate that, at least in principle, the ISW effect can be used to phenomenologically distinguish a cosmological constant from DDE.

Any Dark Energy (DE) or Modified Gravity (MG) model that deviates from a cosmological constant requires a consistent treatment of its perturbations, which can be described in terms of an effective entropy perturbation and an anisotropic stress. We ha
ve considered a recently proposed generic parameterisation of DE/MG perturbations and compared it to data from the Planck satellite and six galaxy catalogues, including temperature-galaxy (Tg), CMB lensing-galaxy and galaxy-galaxy (gg) correlations. Combining these observables of structure formation with tests of the background expansion allows us to investigate the properties of DE/MG both at the background and the perturbative level. Our constraints on DE/MG are mostly in agreement with the cosmological constant paradigm, while we also find that the constraint on the equation of state w (assumed to be constant) depends on the model assumed for the perturbation evolution. We obtain $w=-0.92^{+0.20}_{-0.16}$ (95% CL; CMB+gg+Tg) in the entropy perturbation scenario; in the anisotropic stress case the result is $w=-0.86^{+0.17}_{-0.16}$. Including the lensing correlations shifts the results towards higher values of w. If we include a prior on the expansion history from recent Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) measurements, we find that the constraints tighten closely around $w=-1$, making it impossible to measure any DE/MG perturbation evolution parameters. If, however, upcoming observations from surveys like DES, Euclid or LSST show indications for a deviation from a cosmological constant, our formalism will be a useful tool towards model selection in the dark sector.
We show that in clustering dark energy models the growth index of linear matter perturbations, $gamma$, can be much lower than in $Lambda$CDM or smooth quintessence models and present a strong variation with redshift. We find that the impact of dark
energy perturbations on $gamma$ is enhanced if the dark energy equation of state has a large and rapid decay at low redshift. We study four different models with these features and show that we may have $0.33<gammaleft(zright)<0.48$ at $0<z<3$. We also show that the constant $gamma$ parametrization for the growth rate, $f=dlndelta_{m}/dln a=Omega_{m}^{gamma}$, is a few percent inaccurate for such models and that a redshift dependent parametrization for $gamma$ can provide about four times more accurate fits for $f$. We discuss the robustness of the growth index to distinguish between General Relativity with clustering dark energy and modified gravity models, finding that some $fleft(Rright)$ and clustering dark energy models can present similar values for $gamma$.
We present the cross-correlation of the density map of LRGs and the temperature fluctuation in the CMB as measured by the WMAP5 observations. The LRG samples were extracted from imaging data of the SDSS based on two previous spectroscopic redshift su
rveys, the SDSS-LRG and the 2SLAQ surveys at average redshifts z~0.35 and z~0.55. In addition we have added a higher-redshift photometric LRG sample based on the selection of the AAOmega LRG redshift survey at z~0.7. The total LRG sample thus comprises 1.5 million galaxies, sampling a redshift range of 0.2 < z < 0.9 over ~7600 square degrees of the sky, probing a total cosmic volume of ~5.5 h^{-3} Gpc^3. We find that the new LRG sample at z~0.7 shows very little positive evidence for the ISW effect. Indeed, the cross-correlation is negative out to ~1 deg. The standard LCDM model is rejected at ~2-3% significance by the new LRG data. We then performed a new test on the robustness of the LRG ISW detections at z~0.35 and 0.55. We made 8 rotations through 360deg of the CMB maps with respect to the LRG samples around the galactic pole. We find that in both cases there are stronger effects at angles other than zero. This implies that the z~0.35 and 0.55 ISW detections may still be subject to systematic errors which combined with the known sizeable statistical errors may leave these ISW detections looking unreliable. We have further made the rotation test on several other samples where ISW detections have been claimed and find that they also show peaks when rotated. We conclude that in the samples we have tested the ISW effect may be absent and we argue that this result may not be in contradiction with previous results.
In this paper we study the evolution of cosmological perturbations in the presence of dynamical dark energy, and revisit the issue of dark energy perturbations. For a generally parameterized equation of state (EoS) such as w_D(z) = w_0+w_1frac{z}{1+z
}, (for a single fluid or a single scalar field ) the dark energy perturbation diverges when its EoS crosses the cosmological constant boundary w_D=-1. In this paper we present a method of treating the dark energy perturbations during the crossing of the $w_D=-1$ surface by imposing matching conditions which require the induced 3-metric on the hypersurface of w_D=-1 and its extrinsic curvature to be continuous. These matching conditions have been used widely in the literature to study perturbations in various models of early universe physics, such as Inflation, the Pre-Big-Bang and Ekpyrotic scenarios, and bouncing cosmologies. In all of these cases the EoS undergoes a sudden change. Through a detailed analysis of the matching conditions, we show that delta_D and theta_D are continuous on the matching hypersurface. This justifies the method used[1-4] in the numerical calculation and data fitting for the determination of cosmological parameters. We discuss the conditions under which our analysis is applicable.
We show that a general late-time interaction between cold dark matter and vacuum energy is favoured by current cosmological datasets. We characterize the strength of the coupling by a dimensionless parameter $q_V$ that is free to take different value
s in four redshift bins from the primordial epoch up to today. This interacting scenario is in agreement with measurements of cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropies from the Planck satellite, supernovae Ia from Union 2.1 and redshift space distortions from a number of surveys, as well as with combinations of these different datasets. We show that a non-zero interaction is very likely at late times. We then focus on the case $q_V ot=0$ in a single low-redshift bin, obtaining a nested one parameter extension of the standard $Lambda$CDM model. We study the Bayesian evidence, with respect to $Lambda$CDM, of this late-time interaction model, finding moderate evidence for an interaction starting at $z=0.9$, dependent upon the prior range chosen for the interaction strength parameter $q_V$. For this case the null interaction ($q_V=0$, i.e.$Lambda$CDM) is excluded at 99% c.l..
