Description

We study coupled quintessence models in which the interaction with dark matter is driven by some power of the quintessence potential. We show that those models can emerge from a Lagrangian formulation, and can lead to a accelerating stable fixed point. We also provide the bounds on the parameters of the models using supernovae, CMB, BAO and $H_0$ data.
