Power-law cosmology, SN Ia, and BAO

Abstract

We revise observational constraints on the class of models of modified gravity which at low redshifts lead to a power-law cosmology. To this end we use available public data on Supernova Ia and on baryon acoustic oscillations. We show that the expansion regime $a(t)\sim t^{\beta }$ with $\beta$ close to 3/2 a spatially flat universe is a good fit to these data.

arXiv commentReplaced with the version accepted for publication in JCAP. Analysis of BAO was added
