We present a further observational analysis of the $\Lambda_{\rm s}$CDM model proposed in Akarsu et al. [Phys. Rev. D 104, 123512 (2021)]. This model is based on the recent conjecture suggesting the Universe has transitioned from anti-de…

A flat Friedman-Roberson-Walker universe dominated by a cosmological constant ($\Lambda$) and cold dark matter (CDM) has been the working model preferred by cosmologists since the discovery of cosmic acceleration. However, tensions of…

We present a unified Bayesian assessment of model comparison and data-set consistency for LCDM (cold dark matter plus a cosmological constant) and minimal extensions (neutrino mass, spatial curvature, constant or evolving dark energy) using…
