Abstract

We study the model-independent traversable wormholes from cosmological reconstruction based on Gaussian processes (GP). Using a combination of Union 2.1 SNe Ia data, the latest observational Hubble parameter data and recent Planck’s shift parameter, we find that our GP method can give a tighter constraint on the normalized comoving distance, its derivatives and the dark energy equation of state than the previous work (Seikel et al., 2012). Subsequently, two specific traversable wormhole solutions are obtained, i.e., the cases of a constant redshift function and a linear shape function. We find that, with decreasing cosmic acceleration, the traversal velocity v of the former case increases and the amounts of exotic matter IV of the latter case decreases.
