In this paper, we explore the effects of varying β on the cosmological constraints of holographic dark energy （HDE） model. In addition to the SNLS3 data, we also use Planck distance prior data of cosmic microwave background （CMB）, as well as galaxy clustering （GC） data extracted from Sloan Digital Sky Survey （SDSS） data release 7 and Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey （BOSS）. We find that, for the both cases of using SN data alone and using SN＋CMB＋GC data, involving an additional parameter of β can reduce χ^2 by - 36; this shows that β deviates from a constant at 6σ- confidence levels. Adopting SN＋CMB＋GC data, we find that compared to the constant β case, varying β yields a larger fractional matter density Ωm0 and a smaller reduced Hubble constant h; moreover, varying β significantly increases the value of HDE model parameter c, leading to c ≈ 0.8, consistent with the constraint results obtained before Planck. These results indicate that the evolution of β should be taken into account seriously in the cosmological fits. In addition, we find that relative to the differences between the constant β and varying β（z） cases, the effects of different light-curve fitters on parameter estimation are very small.展开更多
