This paper investigates exact solutions of cosmological interest in fractional cosmology. Given μ, the order of Caputo's fractional derivative, and w, the matter equation of state, we present specific exact power-law solutions. We discuss the exact general solution of the Riccati Equation, where the solution for the scale factor is a combination of power laws. Using cosmological data, we estimate the free parameters. An analysis of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) data and the observational Hubble parameter data (OHD), also known as cosmic chronometers, and a joint analysis with data from SNe Ia + OHD leads to best-fit values for the free parameters calculated at 1σ, 2σ and 3σ confidence levels (CLs). On the other hand, these best-fit values are used to calculate the age of the Universe, the current deceleration parameter (both at 3σ CL) and the current matter density parameter at 1σ CL. Finding a Universe roughly twice as old as the one of ΛCDM is a distinction of fractional cosmology. Focusing our analysis on these results, we can conclude that the region in which μ>2 is not ruled out by observations. This parameter region is relevant because fractional cosmology gives a power-law solution without matter, which is accelerated for μ>2. We present a fractional origin model that leads to an accelerated state without appealing to Λ or dark energy.
