The string inspired tachyon field can serve as a candidate of dark energy. Its equation of state parameter $w$ varies from 0 to -1. In case of tachyon field potential $V(\phi)\to 0$ slower(faster) than $1/\phi^2$ at infinity, dark…

As an alternative to the popular parametrisations of the dark energy equation of state, we construct a quintessence model where the scalar field has a linear dependence on the number of e-folds. Constraints on more complex models are…
Almost in all interacting dark energy models present in the literature, the stability of the model becomes potentially sensitive to the dark energy equation of state parameter $w_x$, and a singularity arises at `$w_x = -1$'. Thus, it…

Thermal dark matter, which, after chemical decoupling from the Standard Model thermal plasma rises its yield before it freezes-out, is a new feature of thermal DM scenarios dubbed as "Bouncing Dark Matter". In the following short note, we…

Recent observations and theoretical considerations have motivated the study of models for dark energy with equation of state characterized by a parameter $w=p/\rho<-1$. Such models, however, are usually believed to be inviable due to their…
We investigate a coupled quintessence cosmological model in which a dark-energy scalar field with an exponential potential interacts directly with a dark-matter fluid through a dissipative term inspired by warm inflation. The evolution…
