Reconstructed from lensing tomography, the evolution of the dark matter density field in the well-understood linear regime can provide model-independent constraints on the growth function of structure and the evolution of the dark energy…

One of the most important questions nowadays in physics concerns the nature of the so-called dark energy. It is also a consensus among cosmologists that such a question will not be answered on the basis only of observational data. However,…

We present updated observational constraints on the simple-gDE model, characterized by a constant inertial mass density (IMD) $\rho_{\rm DE}+p_{\rm DE}$,which belongs to the broader graduated dark energy family, and compare its cosmological…

In the studies on pre-recombination early dark energy (EDE), the evolution of Universe after recombination is usually regarded as ${\Lambda}CDM$-like, which corresponds that the equation of state of dark energy responsible for current…

Even though the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) mission does not exclude a dynamical dark energy evolution, the concordance paradigm, i.e., the $\Lambda$CDM model, remains statistically favored, as it depends on the fewest…

In this work we use the latest observations on SNIa, $H(z)$, BAO, $f_{gas}$ in clusters and CMBR, to constrain three models showing an explicit interaction between dark matter and dark energy. In particular, we use the BOSS BAO measurements…

We investigate whether the current Hubble parameter $H(z)$ measurements could help improve the constraints on dark energy on the basis of the mainstream cosmological probes including the type Ia supernovae (SN) observation, the cosmic…

We propose a strategy to measure the dark matter power spectrum using minimal assumptions about the galaxy distribution and the galaxy-dark matter cross-correlations. We argue that on large scales the central limit theorem generically…

The strong CP problem was solved by Peccei & Quinn by introducing axions, which are a viable candidate for DM. Here the PQ approach is modified so to yield also Dark Energy (DE), which arises in fair proportions, without tuning any extra…

In standard cosmologies, dark energy interacts only gravitationally with dark matter. There could be a non-gravitational interaction in the dark sector, leading to changes in the effective DE equation of state, in the redshift dependence of…

Using the science verification data of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) for a new sample of 106 X-Ray selected clusters and groups, we study the stellar mass growth of Bright Central Galaxies (BCGs) since redshift 1.2. Compared with the…

We study a class of early dark energy (EDE) models, in which, unlike in standard dark energy models, a substantial amount of dark energy exists in the matter-dominated era. We self-consistently include dark energy perturbations, and show…

Cosmological models exhibiting crossing of the phantom divide improve the fit to current data, suggesting late-time dark energy (DE) dynamics at $\sim3\sigma$ CL. However, they favor low values of $H_0$, in tension with SH0ES. This may…

Recent DESI data suggest that dark energy may be evolving and motivate the use of model-independent diagnostics such as $Om(z)$ and probes of the equation of state (EoS) of dark energy, $w(z)$. Traditional reconstructions of $w(z)$ rely on…

We examine a cosmological model with a dark energy density of the form $\rho_{DE}(t)=\rho_X(t)+\rho_Z(t)$, where $\rho_X$ is the component that accelerates the Hubble expansion at late times and $\rho_Z(t)$ is an extra contribution…

We explore the cosmological constraints on the parameter w_dm of the dark matter barotropic equation of state (EoS) to investigate the "warmness" of the dark matter fluid. The model is composed by the dark matter and dark energy fluids in…
