Observation constraints on scalar field cosmological model in anisotropic universe
Abstract
In this study, we have explored a scalar field cosmological model in the axially symmetric Bianchi type-I universe. In this study, our aim is to constrain the scalar field dark energy model in an anisotropic background. For this purpose, the explicit solution of the developed field equations for the model is determined and analyzed. Constraints on the cosmological model parameters are established utilizing Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis and using the latest observational datasets of OHD, BAO, and Pantheon. For the combined dataset (OHD, BAO, and Pantheon), the best-fit values of Hubble and density parameters are estimated as H0=71.54±0.28, Ωm0=0.2622±0.0021Ωϕ0=0.7331±0.0046 and Ωσ0=0.000162±0.000063. The model shows a flipping nature and redshift transition occurs at zt=0.6964+0.0136−0.0006, and the present value of decelerated parameter is computed to be q0=−0.6964±0.028 for the combined dataset. We have explored characteristics like the universe’s age, particle horizon, deceleration parameter, and jerk parameter. The dynamical properties, such as energy density ρϕ, scalar field pressure pϕ, and equation of state parameter ωϕ, are analyzed and presented. We have also described the behavior of the scalar potential V(ϕ) and scalar field. Furthermore, the authors also described the behavior of energy conditions in scalar-tensor cosmology. The scenario of the present accelerated expansion of the universe is described by the contribution of the scalar field.
