In this study, we investigate the oscillatory dark energy model $w_{\sin}\mathrm{CDM}$ based on the DESI BAO data together with OHD, Pantheon Plus, and SH0ES measurements. We examine how the DESI data influence the dark energy…

A type of exponential correction to General Relativity gives viable modified gravity model of dark energy. The model behaves as $R-2\Lambda$ at large curvature where an effective cosmological constant appears, but it becomes zero in flat…

In order to explain the Late-times accelerated expansion of the Universe we must appeal to some form of Dark Energy. In the standard model of cosmology, the latter is interpreted as a Cosmological Constant $\Lambda$. However, for a number…
