This paper revisits the phenomenological emergent dark energy (PEDE) model by analyzing recent cosmological data from early and late times. The authors use baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), along with data from cosmic chronometers, Type Ia supernovae (Pantheon+), quasars, hydrogen II galaxies, and cosmic background radiation distance priors. They perform a Bayesian analysis using Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) to constrain the model parameters. The results show consistent constraints when both SDSS and DESI data are considered, but the Hubble constant is higher than the Supernova Hubble Constant (SHOES) value. The age of the universe predicted by PEDE is younger by approximately 3% compared to the standard cosmology. The deceleration parameter today ($q_0$) and the deceleration-acceleration transition redshift ($z_T$) are estimated as $q_0 = -0.771^{+0.09}_{-0.07}$ and $z_T = 0.764^{+0.01}_{-0.01}$, respectively. The paper discusses the implications of these results and compares them with previous studies, highlighting the potential of PEDE as a model to alleviate the Hubble constant tension without introducing additional free parameters.This paper revisits the phenomenological emergent dark energy (PEDE) model by analyzing recent cosmological data from early and late times.
