| contents | The present work deals with a dark energy model that has an oscillating scalar field potential along with a cosmological constant (CC). The oscillating part of the potential represents the contribution of a light axion field in the dark energy that has its origin in the String-Axiverse scenario. The model has been confronted with the latest cosmological observations. The results show that a sub-Planckian value of the axion field decay constant is consistent with observational data. Furthermore, in terms of the observational data considered in this work, the axion model is preferred over the $Λ$CDM model in terms of AIC, BIC information criteria as well as in terms of Bayesian evidence. The oscillating feature in the scalar field evolution and in the equation of state for the dark energy can be observed for the allowed parameters space. It is also observed that cluster number counts in this axion model are suppressed compared to the $Λ$CDM and this suppression is enhanced for the sub-Planckian values for the axion decay constant. |
