Abstract

We try to find the possibility of a Bianchi V universe in the modified gravitational field theory of f(R,T)f(R,T). We have considered a Lagrangian model in the connection between the trace of the energy-momentum tensor TT and the Ricci scalar RR. In order to solve the field equations a power law for the scaling factor was also considered. To make a comparison of the model parameters with the observational data, we put constraints on the model under the datasets of the Hubble parameter, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations, Pantheon, joint datasets of Hubble parameter + Pantheon, and collective datasets of the Hubble parameter + Baryon Acoustic Oscillations + Pantheon. The outcomes for the Hubble parameter in the present epoch are reasonably acceptable, especially since our estimation of this H0H_0 is remarkably consistent with various recent Planck Collaboration studies that utilize the Λ\Lambda-CDM model.
