摘要
Many dark energy models fail to pass the cosmic age test because of the old quasar APM 08279+5255 at redshift z=3.91,the ΛCDMmodel and holographic dark energy models being no exception.Inthis paper,we focus onthe topic of the age problem inthe new agegraphic dark energy(NADE)model.We determine the age of the universe in the NADE model by fitting the observational data,including type Ia supernovae(SNIa),baryon acoustic oscillations(BAO)and the cosmic microwave background(CMB).We find that the NADE model also faces the challenge of the age problem caused by the old quasar APM 08279+5255.In order to overcome such a difficulty,we consider the possible interaction between dark energy and dark matter.We show that this quasar can be successfully accommodated in the interacting new agegraphic dark energy(INADE)model at the 2σlevel under the current observational constraints.
