Abstract
Several models within the framework of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravities are considered with regard their late-time phenomenological viability. The models contain a non-minimally coupled scalar field and satisfy a constraint on the scalar field Gauss-Bonnet coupling, that guarantees that the speed of the tensor perturbations is equal to the speed of light. The late-time cosmological evolution of these Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet models is confronted with the observational data including the Pantheon plus Type Ia supernovae catalogue, the Hubble parameter measurements (cosmic chronometers), data from cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) including the latest measurements from Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). Among the considered class of models some of them do not fit the CMB and BAO data. However, there exists some models that generate a viable Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet scenario with well-behaved late-time cosmological evolution that fits the observational data essentially better in comparison to the standard Λ-Cold-Dark-Matter model.
期刊介绍:
The journal welcomes manuscripts on theoretical models, simulations, and observations of highly energetic astrophysical objects both in our Galaxy and beyond. Among those, black holes at all scales, neutron stars, pulsars and their nebula, binaries, novae and supernovae, their remnants, active galaxies, and clusters are just a few examples. The journal will consider research across the whole electromagnetic spectrum, as well as research using various messengers, such as gravitational waves or neutrinos. Effects of high-energy phenomena on cosmology and star-formation, results from dedicated surveys expanding the knowledge of extreme environments, and astrophysical implications of dark matter are also welcomed topics.
