abstract

Axions have emerged as compelling candidates for describing the dark sector of the Universe. In this work, we explore quintessence models inspired by axion-like potentials as a dynamical alternative to the cosmological constant. These models naturally exhibit a tracking behaviour, reducing the need for fine-tuned initial conditions. We perform a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis on a complete cosmological dataset of Planck PR4 cosmic microwave background (CMB), DESI DR1 baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO), Pantheon+ type Ia supernovae, low-$z$ Cepheid anchors, and DES Y1 large scale structure measurement. Unfortunately, neither the Hubble tension nor the $S_8$ tension is eased. The model does reach parity with $\Lambda$CDM model statistically according to DIC, WAIC and Bayesian ratio, suggesting that a quintessence model may still help with the cosmic tension by further extending the model we have investigated.

  1. Alleviating the Hubble Tension with Smooth Sign-Switching Dark Energy: Full CMB Constraints with DESI and PantheonPlus

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Smooth ECDM dark energy remains compatible with Planck+ACT+SPT, DESI DR2 and Pantheon+/SH0ES while alleviating the Hubble tension through a controlled late-time density transition.

  2. Observational constraints on 3-forms dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Fitting a Gaussian-potential 3-form dark-energy model to Planck, DESI, Pantheon+, Cepheid and DES data shifts H0 up by only ~0.4 km/s/Mpc and yields a weak statistical preference over ΛCDM.

  3. Cosmographic analysis of sign-switching dark energy

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    New sign-switching dark energy models with ladder, smooth-step and error-function profiles are introduced and compared, with continuous transitions shown to convert the Lambda_sCDM sudden singularity into a milder w-s...

  4. Three-form dark energy: constraints and multi-probe comparison with $\Lambda$CDM

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Three-form dark energy with Gaussian potential is fitted to multi-probe cosmological data and shows mild statistical preference over ΛCDM only in heavily tensioned dataset combinations.
