Dynamics of Kantowski-Sachs Universe with Magnetized Anisotropic Dark Energy

Abstract

In this paper we study Kantowski-Sachs cosmological model in the presence of magnetized anisotropic fluid with dynamical equation of state. We obtain exact solutions to the field equations by utilizing the hybrid expansion law for the average factor of the model. The physical and kinematical behaviours of the cosmological model are discussed. We observe that the anisotropic universe approaches isotropy through the evolution of the universe. We also find that the universe is accelerating due to the dominance of the dark energy.
