Observational constraint on the interacting dark energy models including the Sandage-Loeb test

Understand

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 $\delta=-0.01 \pm 0.01 (1\sigma) \pm 0.02 (2\sigma)$, 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.
