Evidence for a Dark Energy Driven by Star Formation: Information Dark Energy?

Evidence is presented for a dark energy resulting directly from star formation. A survey of Stellar Mass Density, SMD, measurements are found to be described by a simple CPL w0-wa parameterisation that is in good agreement with the dark energy results of Planck, and with the recent results of Pantheon 2022, Dark Energy Survey 2024, and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument 2024. The (SMD)^k best fit CPL values found are w0 =-0.90, wa =-1.49 for k=+1.0, and w0 =-0.94, wa =-0.76 for k=+0.5, corresponding, respectively, to good and very good agreement with all dark energy results. The preference for k=+0.5, suggests that it is the temperature of astrophysical objects that determines the dark energy density. The equivalent energy of the information/entropy of gas and plasma heated by star and structure formation is a possible candidate for such a dark energy source. An Information Dark Energy, is also capable of resolving many of the problems and tensions of ɅCDM: cosmological constant problem, cosmological coincidence problem, the H0 and σ8 tensions, and may account for some effects previously attributed to dark matter.
