A validation of the cosmic distance duality (CDD) relation, eta(z)=(1+z)^2 d_A(z)/d_L(z)=1, coupling the luminosity (d_L) and angular-diameter (d_A) distances, is crucial because its violation would require exotic new physics. We present a…
We explore how local, cosmology-independent measurements of the Hubble constant and the age of the Universe help to provide a powerful consistency check of the currently favored cosmological model (flat LambdaCDM) and model-independent…
In this work, we test consistency relations between a kinematic probe, the observational Hubble data, and a dynamical probe, the growth rates for cosmic large scale structure, which should hold if general relativity is the correct theory of…
We constrain three cosmological models, i.e. the concordance cold dark matter plus a cosmological constant ($\Lambda$CDM) model, Power-law (PL) model, and $R_h=ct$ model using the available local probes, which includes the JLA compilation…
Direct observations of the Hubble rate, from cosmic chronometers and the radial baryon acoustic oscillation scale, can out-perform supernovae observations in understanding the expansion history, because supernovae observations need to be…
Assuming that supernovae type Ia (SNe Ia) are standard candles one could use them to test cosmological theories. The Hubble Space Telescope team analyzed 186 SNe Ia\cite{Riess_04} to test the Standard Cosmological model (SC) associated with…
Gaussian processes provide a method for extracting cosmological information from observations without assuming a cosmological model. We carry out cosmography -- mapping the time evolution of the cosmic expansion -- in a model-independent…
The increase of discrepancy in the standard procedure to choose the arbitrary functional form of the Lagrangian $f(Q)$ motivates us to solve this issue in modified theories of gravity. In this regard, we investigate the Gaussian process…
The Cosmic Distance Duality Relation (CDDR) is a basic relation of standard cosmology. This work tests the CDDR and cosmic transparency using angular diameter distances from DESI DR2, luminosity distances from Pantheon+, and direct…
Problems with the concordance cosmology $\Lambda$CDM as the cosmological constant problem, coincidence problems and Hubble tension has led to many proposed alternatives, as the $\Lambda(t)$CDM, where the now called $\Lambda$ cosmological…
Combining cosmological probes has consolidated the standard cosmological model with percent precision, but some tensions have recently emerged when certain parameters are estimated from the local or primordial Universe. The origin of this…
$\Lambda$CDM provides a leading framework in the interpretation of modern cosmology. Nevertheless, the scientific community still struggles with many open problems in cosmology. Among the most noticeable ones, the tension in the Hubble…
In astronomy, there is an opportunity to enhance the practice of validating models through statistical techniques, specifically to account for measurement error uncertainties. While models are commonly used to describe observations, there…
Cosmic distances can be measured using two complementary probes: Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia), serving as standard candles, and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), serving as standard rulers. The luminosity distance derived from supernovae…
Deviations from the so-called {\it cosmic distance duality relation} may result from systematic errors in distance measurements or, more interestingly, hint at new physics. Further, it can also be related to the Hubble constant tension…
The $\Lambda$CDM cosmological model faces increasingly significant and robust tensions among independent cosmological probes, prompting renewed scrutiny of its foundational assumptions. While General Relativity and the nature of dark energy…
An intriguing discrepancy emerging in the concordance model of cosmology is the tension between the locally measured value of the Hubble rate, and the 'global' value inferred from the cosmic microwave background (CMB). This could be due to…
An important concern in the application of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) to cosmology is that the calibration of GRB luminosity/energy relations depends on the cosmological model, due to the lack of a sufficient low-redshift GRB sample. In this…

Cosmological observables could be used to construct cosmological models, however, a fixed number of observables limited on the light cone is not enough to uniquely determine a certain model. A reconstructed spherically symmetric,…
