The details of the CMB power spectrum are being revealed through the combined efforts of the world's CMBologists. The current data set constrains several cosmological parameters. A combination with other (non-lensing) constraints yields…
A new cosmological model makes the following predictions: (1) The deceleration parameter $q_{0}$ is approximately zero. (2) The mass density parameter $\Omega_{m}$ is less than 1. (3) The universe is spatially closed, but is asymptotically…
The newly released observational $H(z)$ data (OHD) is used to constrain $\Lambda(t)$CDM models as holographic and agegraphic dark energy. By the use of the length scale and time scale as the IR cut-off including Hubble horizon (HH), future…
In this research paper, we explore a well-motivated parametrization of the time-dependent deceleration parameter, characterized by a cubic form, within the context of late time cosmic acceleration. The current analysis is based on the…
The present work deals with kinematical models of latetime cosmology. It is based on purely phenomenological assumption about the deceleration parameter. The models are confronted to observational data sets of type Ia supernovae distance…
The ages of the oldest stellar objects in our galaxy provide an independent test of the current cosmological model as they give a lower limit to the age of the Universe. Recent accurate parallaxes by the Gaia space mission, accurate…
In the present article we have investigated a very natural question regarding the dynamics of the universe, namely, the possibility of its decelerating phase immediately after the present accelerating phase. To begin with, we have focused…
Einstein field equations under spherically symmetric space-times are considered here in connection to dark energy investigation. A set of solutions are obtained for a kinematical $\Lambda$ model, viz., $\Lambda \sim (\dot a/a)^2$ without…
Concordance $\Lambda$CDM universe is the simplest model that is consistent with a large variety of cosmological observations till date. But few recent observations indicate inconsistencies in $\Lambda$CDM model. In this paper, we consider…
We review the observational foundations of the $\Lambda$CDM model, considered by most cosmologists as the standard model of cosmology. The Cosmological Principle, a key assumption of the model is shown to be verified with increasing…
The standard model of cosmology is investigated using time dependent cosmological constant $\Lambda$ and Newton's gravitational constant $G$. The total energy content is described by the modified Chaplygin gas equation of state. It is found…
In this paper, we examine observational constraints on the power law cosmology; essentially dependent on two parameters $H_0$ (Hubble constant) and $q$ (deceleration parameter). We investigate the constraints on these parameters using the…
The consensus of opinion in cosmology is that the Universe is currently undergoing a period of accelerated expansion. With current and proposed high precision experiments it offers the hope of being able to discriminate between the two…
The oscillating scenario of route to Lambda was recently proposed by us arXiv:0704.1651 as an alternative to a cosmological constant in a explanation of the current accelerating universe. In this scenario phantom scalar field conformally…
A phenomenological approach is proposed to the problem of universe accelerated expansion and of the dark energy nature. A general class of models is introduced whose energy density depends on the redshift $z$ in such a way that a smooth…
In this paper we compare outcomes of some extended phantom-like cosmologies with each other and also with $\Lambda$CDM\, and $\Lambda$DGP. We focus on the variation of the luminosity distances, the age of the universe and the deceleration…
The search for a physical model which explains the observed recent acceleration of the universe is a compelling task of modern fundamental cosmology. Recently Fernandes \textit{et al.} presented low redshift observational constraints on a…
The proposal for a sudden sign-switching cosmological constant $\Lambda$ in the local universe, emulating a phase transition from anti-de Sitter (AdS) to de Sitter (dS) space, has markedly revamped the fit to observational data and lays out…
Model-independent methods in cosmology has become an essential tool in order to deal with an increasing number of theoretical alternatives for explaining the late-time acceleration of the Universe. In principle, this provides a way of…
The aim of this thesis is to question some of the basic assumptions that go into building the $\Lambda$CDM model of our universe. The assumptions we focus on are the initial conditions of the universe, the fundamental forces in the universe…
