Extensions of the gravitational framework of Brans-Dicke (BD) are studied by considering two different scenarios: i) `BD-$\Lambda$CDM', in which a rigid cosmological constant, $\Lambda$, is included, thus constituting a BD version of the…

We consider Horndeski modified gravity models obeying stability, velocity of gravitational waves $c_T$ equals $c$ and quasistatic approximation (QSA) on subhorizon scales. We assume further a $\Lambda$CDM background expansion and a…

In this study, we explored late-time cosmology within an extended class of theories based on $f(Q, L_m)$ gravity. This theory generalizes $f(Q)$ gravity by incorporating a non-minimal coupling between the non-metricity $Q$ and the matter…

LambdaCDM, for the currently preferred cosmological density Omega_0 and cosmological constant Omega_Lambda, predicts that the Universe expansion decelerates from early times to redshift z~0.9 and accelerates at later times. On the contrary,…

In this investigation, we perform an observational statistical analysis in the theory of $ f(R, L_m) $ gravity. The proposed theoretical model is based on the Ricci scalar's non-linear contribution. We use a distinct parameterization for…
