We investigate the dark energy phenomenology in an extended parameter space where we allow the curvature density of our universe as a free-to-vary parameter. The inclusion of the curvature density parameter is motivated from the recently…

In this paper we study the evolution of the equation of state of viscous dark energy in the scope of Bianchi type III space-time. We consider the case when the dark energy is minimally coupled to the perfect fluid as well as direct…
An extra dark radiation component can be present in the universe in the form of sterile neutrinos, axions or other very light degrees of freedom which may interact with the dark matter sector. We derive here the cosmological constraints on…
