To talk about the universe′s evolution, we derive the Hubble, deceleration, and effective equation of state parameters. We analyze the computed cosmological parameters in light of the model parameters′ best fit values and limit the model parameters using the most recent cosmological observations. The deceleration parameter shows a smooth phase transition of the universe from decelerated to accelerated expansion. The universe remains in accelerating phase in future also which shows that dark energy will dominate the universe in future as well. We observe that effective equation of state in our model never cross the phantom divide line and approaches to ΛCDM model in the future. We observe current values of the Hubble parameter <span>({H}_{0}={66.567}_{-1.048}^{+1.151})</span> and <span>({H}_{0}={69.582}_{-0.813}^{+0.905})</span> for SNIa+OHD+SLS and SNIa+OHD+SH0ES, respectively. The estimated current ages of the universe are 15. 13 Gyr for SNIa+OHD+SLS and 15. 61 Gyr for the SNIa+OHD+SH0ES. We observe that the present model is able to resolve H0 tension and age problem of the standard ΛCDM model. Further, we apply higher order geometric analysis namely statefinder jerk, snap, and lerk parameters to discriminate our model with existing DE models. The trajectories in r - s and r - q planes pass through ΛCDM model during the evolution but the overall evolution of the trajectories differs from any known dark energy model.</p>","PeriodicalId":479,"journal":{"name":"Astrophysics","volume":"68 3","pages":"465 - 489"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145555594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model is motivated by recent observational measurements, all of which indicate a significant shift in the dynamics of the universe at intermediate redshifts (z ≈ 0.5). By utilizing a logarithmic damping term, the model allows for a smooth, redshift-dependent transition between matter, dark energy, and radiation domination, and avoids the abrupt transitions often observed in simpler models. In particular, the parameters ω<sub>0</sub> and ω<sub>1</sub> govern the early and late-time evolution of the equation of state. ω<sub>0</sub> characterizes the late-time asymptotic behaviour, while ω<sub>1</sub> controls the rate of transition at intermediate redshifts. The model is further examined from multiple theoretical standpoints: we establish its correspondence with viscous and logotropic dark fluids, reconstruct its scalar field theoretical counterpart (quintessence-type), and derive the effective equation of state ω<sub>eff</sub> (z), which confirms a smooth transition to an accelerating phase near z ~ 0.5. Furthermore, we perform a thermodynamic analysis to verify the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSL) and ensure the model′s stability. The speed of sound, which is essential for stability analysis, is computed and analysed to ensure it remains positive and stable across all redshifts, ensuring that the model adheres to physical constraints. We analysed the present model with updated observational Hubble parameter data from cosmic chronometers, performing a full chi-square minimization and model selection analysis using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). The resulting best-fit parameters indicate a close match with data, yielding a <span>({chi }_{min}^{2})</span> comparable to ΛCDM and CPL, and a ∆AIC that confirms the present model as a competitive phenomenological alternative within the current cosmological framework.</p>","PeriodicalId":479,"journal":{"name":"Astrophysics","volume":"68 3","pages":"496 - 535"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145555590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Significant differences have been found in the lithium abundance and in the [N/C] ratio between magnetic and non-magnetic giants; both of these parameters are known to be sensitive indicators of stellar evolution. Lithium is shown to be absent in almost all non-magnetic giants, in full agreement with theoretical predictions concerning the evolution of giants that have undergone deep convective mixing during the first dredge-up. In contrast, most magnetic giants retain detectable lithium in their atmospheres. Furthermore, the [N/C] ratio, examined as a function of stellar age and mass, displays systematic differences between magnetic and non-magnetic giants. Possible explanations for the observed differences in the chemical composition of these two types of giants are discussed.
