Abstract
We investigate the possibility of constraining Chaplygin dark energy models with current integrated Sachs–Wolfe effect data. In the case of a flat universe we found that generalized Chaplygin gas models must have an energy density such that Ωc > 0.55 and an equation of state w < −0.6 at 95% c.l. We also investigate the recently proposed silent Chaplygin models, constraining Ωc > 0.55 and w < −0.65 at 95% c.l. Better measurements of the CMB–LSS correlation will be possible with the next generation of deep redshift surveys. This will provide independent and complementary constraints on unified dark energy models such as the Chaplygin gas.
