Abstract

We test the cosmological viability of the Viaggiu holographic dark energy (VHDE) model by using late-time observational data. In particular, we place constraints on the free parameters of the model using Type Ia supernovae from the PantheonPlus, Union3.0, and DES-Dovekie catalogues, the Cosmic Chronometers, and the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations from the DESI DR2. Our analysis suggests that the VHDE model fits the observational data better or similar to the CDM for all dataset combinations considered. The value obtained for is similar to the CDM, while the current matter density parameter is constrained around , smaller to that obtained by the CDM. Moreover, the parameter introduced by the VHDE is found to have a mean value within the range . Finally, we used Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian evidence to test the VHDE model against the CDM scenario. The AIC demonstrates that the two models are statistically indistinguishable, while Bayesian evidence reveals that the data have a mild preference for the CDM model for most of the dataset combinations considered. Nevertheless, the VHDE model remains consistent with current late-time cosmological observations and offers a feasible mechanism for describing the late-time accelerating scenario.
