We present the data-driven reconstruction of gravitational theories and Dark Energy models on cosmological scales. We showcase the power of present cosmological probes at constraining these models and quantify the knowledge of their properties that can be acquired through state of the art data. This reconstruction exploits the power of the Effective Field Theory approach to Dark Energy and Modified Gravity phenomenology, which compresses the freedom in defining such models into a finite set of functions that can be reconstructed across cosmic times using cosmological data. We consider several model classes described within this framework and thoroughly discuss their phenomenology and data implications. We find that some models can alleviate the present discrepancy in the determination of the Hubble constant as inferred from the cosmic microwave background and as directly measured. This results in a statistically significant preference for the reconstructed theories over the standard cosmological model.

  1. hi_class: Background Evolution, Initial Conditions and Approximation Schemes

    astro-ph.CO 2019-09 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    hi_class now evolves the background from covariant Horndeski Lagrangians, provides consistent radiation-era initial conditions for scalar perturbations, and applies a quasi-static approximation automatically where it is safe.

  2. The Hubble Hunter's Guide

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The least unlikely fixes to the Hubble tension raise the expansion rate in the decade before recombination, and these fixes generically leave oscillatory residuals in CMB spectra that resemble Planck's A_L and matter-...

  3. Modified recombination and the Hubble tension

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A selected modified recombination history fitted to Planck and DESI data raises the inferred Hubble constant to about 71 km/s/Mpc, reducing the SH0ES tension to below 2 sigma; a smooth four-parameter shape captures mu...

  4. Constraints on Dark Energy Models Using Late Universe Probes

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using late-universe probes only, the authors find all dark energy models remain within 1-2 sigma of Lambda CDM, which wins the Bayesian model comparison, and confirm that DESI's LRG1 and LRG2 points drive the dynamica...

  5. Effect of Peak Absolute Magnitude of Type Ia Supernovae and Sound Horizon Values on Hubble Tension using DESI results

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using DESI DR1, Pantheon+ and cosmic chronometer data, the authors show that changing the Type Ia supernova absolute magnitude and sound-horizon priors moves the inferred H0 from about 73 to 68 km/s/Mpc, reducing the ...

  6. Alleviating the Hubble Tension via Cosmological Time Dilation in the meVSL Model

    physics.gen-ph 2025-09 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    The meVSL model's parameter b reduces the baryon drag sound horizon, raising inferred H0, and changes the cosmological time-dilation exponent to n=1-b/4; the paper forecasts SN sample sizes to detect this.
