Abstract

The effect of spatial curvature in reconstructing the cosmic expansion history and the property of dark energy is studied in this paper by smoothing the noise of the Union2.1 Type Ia Supernovae (SNIa) data with a Gaussian smoothing function. We find that the spatial curvature induces an apparent effect in reconstructing the Hubble parameter H(z), the deceleration parameter q(z), and especially on the equation of state w(z) of dark energy. Thus, when one probes the dark energy property, an assumption of a flat universe may induce critical bias and it is imperative to take account of the spatial curvature.
