Description
We introduce new simple analytical approximations for quintessence solutions covering both tracking (asymptotically inverse power-law potentials) and thawing slow-roll models. From an observational perspective the remarkable accuracy of the approximations makes numerical calculations superfluous when assessing observational constraints. We will then discuss ongoing work on generalisations for thawing hilltop models.
