Eckart heat flux holds for all timelike scalar configurations in F(Φ,X)R + G theories if and only if F_X ≡ 0, reducing the theory to a Jordan-like subclass of Horndeski.

abstract
I review the causal relativistic thermodynamics developed by Israel and Stewart, and discuss some applications in cosmology and astrophysics. The lectures begin with an overview of relativistic fluid dynamics (in a covariant formalism) and equilibrium thermodynamics. Causal bulk viscosity in cosmology is considered in detail, including some new results.

A three-parameter dissipative memory model is tested on BOSS, DESI 2024, and Pantheon+ data and found to be indistinguishable from Lambda CDM with epsilon below 0.05 at 95 percent CL for low redshifts.
A non-variational method for coupling scalar fields to gravity reproduces known models and produces asymptotically Kasner Bianchi I solutions under specific conditions.
Jordan-frame multi-scalar-tensor gravity admits an Eckart-like first-order thermodynamic description whose heat flux and residual gradient sector are not generically reducible to a single KT-type quantity.
Scalar and tensor perturbations in Jordan-frame scalar-tensor gravity admit an exact linear-order Eckart effective-fluid description, with gravitational-wave damping governed by the scalar sector's transverse-traceless anisotropic stress.
The Minkowski limit of pure R² gravity is reinterpreted as a thermal singularity via scalar-tensor to Eckart fluid analogy, showing infinite departure from GR rather than recovery.
A causal Israel–Stewart extension of scalar-tensor thermodynamics is constructed via a timelike heat-flux ansatz, enabling the first explicit split of K and T in Bianchi I and FLRW universes.
Fractional entropy on the apparent horizon yields stable modified cosmology that fits late-time data best at α near 2, shifting H0 upward as α decreases.
A BGK collision term yields first-order Chapman-Enskog thermal coefficients that close the Einstein-Boltzmann system for spatially homogeneous models with dissipation.
