Tolman-Bondi inhomogeneous spacetimes are used as a cosmological model for type Ia supernova data. It is found that with certain parameter choices the model fits the data as well as the standard $\Lambda$CDM cosmology does.

New Early Dark Energy (NEDE) is a component of vacuum energy at the electron volt scale, which decays in a first-order phase transition shortly before recombination [arXiv:1910.10739]. The NEDE component has the potential to resolve the…

The $\Lambda$CDM framework offers a remarkably good description of our universe with a very small number of free parameters, which can be determined with high accuracy from currently available data. However, this does not mean that the…

We search for physically consistent realizations of evolving dark energy suggested by the cosmological fit of DESI, Planck and Supernovae data. First we note that any lagrangian description of the standard Chevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL)…

An alternative to the postulate of dark energy required to explain the accelerated expansion of the universe is to adopt an inhomogeneous cosmological model to explain the supernovae data without dark energy. We adopt a void cosmology…

We study a generic class of time-evolving vacuum models which can provide a better phenomenological account of the overall cosmological observations as compared to the $\Lambda$CDM. Among these models, the running vacuum model (RVM) appears…

By assuming a phenomenological form for the ratio of the DE and DM densities $\rho_X\propto \rho_{m} a^{\xi}$ (Dalal et al.2001), we discuss the cosmic coincidence problem in light of current observational data. $\xi$ is a key parameter to…
