Constraining Models of Dark Energy
One of the great endeavors of the past decade has been the evaluation of different observational techniques for measuring dark energy properties and of theoretical techniques for constraining models of cosmic acceleration given cosmological data. This chapter reviews a few of the key developments, promises, and cautions for revealing dark energy. We also present a few new calculations, on direct detection of acceleration through redshift drift, the minimum uncertainty in the equation of state, and testing gravity.
