Abstract
In this work, we consider the so-called δ(α)CDM cosmology with δ α-6 while the fine-structure constant α is varying. In this scenario, the accelerated expansion of the universe is driven by the cosmological constant δ (equivalently the vacuum energy), and the varying α is driven by a subdominant scalar field coupling with the electromagnetic field. The observational constraints on the varying α and δ α-6 models with various couplings BF between the subdominant scalar field and the electromagnetic field are considered.
