We investigate the observational viability of a class of cosmological models in which the vacuum energy density decays linearly with the Hubble parameter, resulting in a production of cold dark matter particles at late times. Similarly to the flat Lambda CDM case, there is only one free parameter to be adjusted by the data in this class of Lambda(t)CDM scenarios, namely, the matter density parameter. To perform our analysis we use three of the most recent SNe Ia compilation sets (Union2, SDSS and Constitution) along with the current measurements of distance to the BAO peaks at z = 0.2 and z = 0.35 and the position of the first acoustic peak of the CMB power spectrum. We show that in terms of $chi^2$ statistics both models provide good fits to the data and similar results. A quantitative analysis discussing the differences in parameter estimation due to SNe light-curve fitting methods (SALT2 and MLCS2k2) is studied using the current SDSS and Constitution SNe Ia compilations. A matter power spectrum analysis using the 2dFGRS is also performed, providing a very good concordance with the constraints from the SDSS and Constitution MLCS2k2 data.

The homogeneous, isotropic, and flat $Lambda$CDM universe favored by observations of the cosmic microwave background can be described using only Euclidean geometry, locally correct Newtonian mechanics, and the basic postulates of special and general
relativity. We present simple derivations of the most useful equations connecting astronomical observables (redshift, flux density, angular diameter, brightness, local space density,...) with the corresponding intrinsic properties of distant sources (lookback time, distance, spectral luminosity, linear size, specific intensity, source counts,...). We also present an analytic equation for lookback time that is accurate within 0.1% for all redshifts $z$. The exact equation for comoving distance is an elliptic integral that must be evaluated numerically, but we found a simple approximation with errors $< 0.2$% for all redshifts up to $z approx 50$.
We present constraints on extensions to the flat $Lambda$CDM cosmological model by varying the spatial curvature $Omega_K$, the sum of the neutrino masses $sum m_ u$, the dark energy equation of state parameter $w$, and the Hu-Sawicki $f(R)$ gravity
$f_{R0}$ parameter. With the combined $3times2$pt measurements of cosmic shear from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS-1000), galaxy clustering from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), and galaxy-galaxy lensing from the overlap between KiDS-1000, BOSS, and the spectroscopic 2-degree Field Lensing Survey (2dFLenS), we find results that are fully consistent with a flat $Lambda$CDM model with $Omega_K=0.011^{+0.054}_{-0.057}$, $sum m_ u<1.76$ eV (95% CL), and $w=-0.99^{+0.11}_{-0.13}$. The $f_{R0}$ parameter is unconstrained in our fully non-linear $f(R)$ cosmic shear analysis. Considering three different model selection criteria, we find no clear preference for either the fiducial flat $Lambda$CDM model or any of the considered extensions. Besides extensions to the flat $Lambda$CDM parameter space, we also explore restrictions to common subsets of the flat $Lambda$CDM parameter space by fixing the amplitude of the primordial power spectrum to the Planck best-fit value, as well as adding external data from supernovae and lensing of the CMB. Neither the beyond-$Lambda$CDM models nor the imposed restrictions explored in this analysis are able to resolve the $sim 3sigma$ tension in $S_8$ between the $3times2$pt constraints and Planck, with the exception of $w$CDM, where the $S_8$ tension is resolved. The tension in the $w$CDM case persists, however, when considering the joint $S_8$-$w$ parameter space. The joint flat $Lambda$CDM CMB lensing and $3times2$pt analysis is found to yield tight constraints on $Omega_{rm m}=0.307^{+0.008}_{-0.013}$, $sigma_8=0.769^{+0.022}_{-0.010}$, and $S_8=0.779^{+0.013}_{-0.013}$.
We present a full-fledged analysis of Brans-Dicke cosmology with a cosmological constant and cold dark matter (BD-$Lambda$CDM for short). We extend the scenarios where the current cosmological value of the BD-field is restricted by the local astrophy
sical domain to scenarios where that value is fixed only by the cosmological observations, which should be more natural in view of the possible existence of local screening mechanims. Our analysis includes both the background and perturbations equations in different gauges. We find that the BD-$Lambda$CDM is favored by the overall cosmological data as compared to the concordance GR-$Lambda$CDM model, namely data on distant supernovae, cosmic chronometers, local measurements of the Hubble parameter, baryonic acoustic oscillations, Large-Scale Structure formation and the cosmic microwave background under full Planck 2018 CMB likelihood. We also test the impact of Strong and Weak-Lensing data on our results, which can be significant. We find that the BD-$Lambda$CDM can mimic effective quintessence with a significance of about $3-3.5sigma$ c.l. (depending on the lensing datasets). The fact that the BD-$Lambda$CDM behaves effectively as a Running Vacuum Model (RVM) when viewed from the GR perspective helps to alleviate some of the existing tensions with the data, such as the $sigma_8$ excess predicted by GR-$Lambda$CDM. On the other hand, the BD-$Lambda$CDM model has a crucial bearing on the acute $H_0$-tension with the local measurements, which is rendered virtually harmless owing to the small increase of the effective value of the gravitational constant with the expansion. The simultaneous alleviation of the two tensions is a most remarkable feature of BD-gravity with a cosmological constant in the light of the current observations, and hence goes in support of BD-$Lambda$CDM against GR-$Lambda$CDM
In $Lambda$CDM cosmology, structure formation is halted shortly after dark energy dominates the mass/energy budget of the Universe. A manifestation of this effect is that in such a cosmology the turnaround radius has an upper bound. Recently, a new,
local, test for the existence of dark energy in the form of a cosmological constant was proposed based on this turnaround bound. Before designing an experiment that, through high-precision determination of masses and turnaround radii, will challenge $Lambda$CDM cosmology, we have to answer two important questions: first, when turnaround-scale structures are predicted to be close enough to their maximum size, so that a possible violation of the bound may be observable. Second, which is the best mass scale to target for possible violations of the bound. Using the Press-Schechter formalism, we find that turnaround structures have in practice already stopped forming, and consequently, the turnaround radius of structures must be very close to the maximum value today. We also find that the mass scale of $sim 10^{13} M_odot$ characterizes turnaround structures that start to form in a statistically important number density today. This mass scale also separates turnaround structures with different cosmological evolution: smaller structures are no longer readjusting their mass distribution inside the turnaround scale, they asymptotically approach their ultimate abundance from higher values, and they are common enough to have, at some epoch, experienced major mergers with structures of comparable mass; larger structures exhibit the opposite behavior. We call this mass scale the transitional mass scale and we argue that it is the optimal for the purpose outlined above. As a corollary result, we explain the different accretion behavior of small and larger structures observed in already conducted numerical simulations.
In this work we discuss a general approach for the dissipative dark matter considering a nonextensive bulk viscosity and taking into account the role of generalized Friedmann equations. This generalized $Lambda$CDM model encompasses a flat universe w
ith a dissipative nonextensive viscous dark matter component, following the Eckart theory of bulk viscosity. In order to compare models and constrain cosmological parameters, we perform Bayesian analysis using one of the most recent observations of Type Ia Supernova, baryon acoustic oscillations, and cosmic microwave background data.
