In this work, we study a special form of Horndeski solutions, viz. quartic "square-root" Horndeski black hole immersed in a perfect-fluid dark-matter halo, by examining its thermodynamics, null geodesic shape, optical shadow, and…

We investigate theoretical and observational aspects of a time-dependent parameterization for the dark energy equation of state (EoS) $w(z)$, which is a well behaved function of the redshift $z$ over the entire cosmological evolution, i.e.,…
