We use data from Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia), Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) and Cosmic Chronometers (CC) to test MOG predictions. For this, we perform $\\chi^2$ tests considering fixed values of $H_0$ and $V_G$, the self-interaction potential of one of the scalar fields in the theory. Our results show that the MOG theory is in agreement with all data sets for some particular values of $H_0$ and $V_G$, being the BAO data set the most powerful tool to test MOG predictions, due to its constraining power.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-28T16:44:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "baryon acoustic oscillations", "type ia supernovae", "testing modified gravity theory", "cosmic chronometers", "test mog predictions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
