摘要
In this paper, we investigate the quintessence model with a minimally coupled scalar field in the context of recent supernovae observations. By choosing a particular form of the deceleration parameter q, which gives an early deceleration and late time acceleration for the dust dominated model, we show that this sign flip in q can be obtained by a simple trigonometric potential. The early matter dominated model expands with q = 1/2 as desired and enters a negative q phase quite late during the evolution.
