We show that a suitable interaction between a scalar field and a matter fluid in a spatially homogeneous and isotropic spacetime can drive the transition from a matter dominated era to an accelerated expansion phase and simultaneously solve the coincidence problem of our present Universe. For this purpose we study the evolution of the energy density ratio of these two components. We demonstrate that a stationary attractor solution is compatible with an accelerated expansion of the Universe. We extend this study to account for dissipation effects due to interactions in the dark matter fluid. Finally, Type Ia supernovae and primordial nucleosynthesis data are used to constrain the parameters of the model.

  1. Accelerating scaling solutions from dark matter particle creation

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Accelerating scaling attractors without dark energy appear only when the interaction is controlled by DM density and energy flows from DM to a barotropic fluid.

  2. Interacting phantom dark energy: new accelerating scaling attractors

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Interacting phantom dark energy with two previously underused potentials admits new stable late-time accelerating solutions in which dark matter and dark energy coexist.

  3. Fractional Dark Matter decay: cosmological imprints and observational constraints

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Cosmological data limit a pre-recombination decaying dark matter fraction to at most about 2.7%, and future kSZ measurements could provide an independent test.

  4. Probing the independence within the dark sector in the fluid approximation

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Current cosmological data show no statistically significant sign of an interaction between cold dark matter and dark energy, with LambdaCDM preferred, and future LSST and DESI data could constrain such a coupling at 2...

  5. The Status of Single Scalar Field Dark Energy

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.5 of 10

    Cosmological data can constrain only a handful of EFT parameters for single-scalar dark energy; extended models show modest preference over Λ but remain underdetermined and challenged by fifth forces and screening.

  6. Generalizing the interacting dilatonic ghost condensate as a dark energy model

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Generalizes the interacting dilatonic ghost condensate dark energy model, performs phase-space analysis for non-interacting and two interacting cases, and reports parameter constraints from Cosmic Chronometers, Panthe...

  7. The model-independent degeneracy-breaking point in cosmological models with interacting Dark Energy and Dark Matter

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In interacting dark energy models, the interaction term becomes independent of the constant dark energy equation of state at a specific redshift (about z=1.4), giving a point where the interaction can be observed with...

  8. Quantifying the impacts of future gravitational-wave data on constraining interacting dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Adding 1000 simulated Einstein Telescope standard sirens to current CMB, BAO, and supernova data would tighten H0 and matter density constraints by factors of 2 to 3 in four interacting dark energy models, with modest...

  9. Dark energy and cosmic acceleration

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 unverdicted

    A review chapter summarizing the history, theory, and current observations of dark energy, presenting no new research results.
