Cosmological constraints on Λ(α)CDM models with time-varying fine structure constant

We study the $\Lambda(\alpha)$CDM models with $\Lambda(\alpha)$ being a function of the time-varying fine structure constant $\alpha$. We give a close look at the constraints on two specific $\Lambda(\alpha)$CDM models with one and two model parameters, respectively, based on the cosmological observational measurements along with 313 data points for the time-varying $\alpha$. We find that the model parameters are constrained to be around $10^{-4}$, which are similar to the results discussed previously but more accurately.
