Caption: Figure 6.

Likelihood surface for the cosmological parameters Ω _X and w (gray scale). The dotted contours indicate regions enclosing 68.2%, 95.4%, and 99.7% (1σ, 2σ, 3σ) of the probability in the region covered by our priors (−2.5 ⩽ w ⩽ −0.1, 0 ⩽ Ω _x ⩽ 1). The "X" marks the mean WMAP seven-year value from Larson et al. (2011).
