We present new improved constraints on the Hubble parameter H(z) in the redshift range 0.15 < z < 1.1, obtained from the differential spectroscopic evolution of early-type galaxies as a function of redshift. We extract a large sample of early-type galaxies (sim11000) from several spectroscopic surveys, spanning almost 8 billion years of cosmic lookback time (0.15 < z < 1.42). We select the most massive, red elliptical galaxies, passively evolving and without signature of ongoing star formation. Those galaxies can be used as standard cosmic chronometers, as firstly proposed by Jimenez & Loeb (2002), whose differential age evolution as a function of cosmic time directly probes H(z). We analyze the 4000 {AA} break (D4000) as a function of redshift, use stellar population synthesis models to theoretically calibrate the dependence of the differential age evolution on the differential D4000, and estimate the Hubble parameter taking into account both statistical and systematical errors. We provide 8 new measurements of H(z) (see Tab. 4), and determine its change in H(z) to a precision of 5-12% mapping homogeneously the redshift range up to z sim 1.1; for the first time, we place a constraint on H(z) at z eq 0 with a precision comparable with the one achieved for the Hubble constant (about 5-6% at z sim 0.2), and covered a redshift range (0.5 < z < 0.8) which is crucial to distinguish many different quintessence cosmologies. These measurements have been tested to best match a Lambda CDM model, clearly providing a statistically robust indication that the Universe is undergoing an accelerated expansion. This method shows the potentiality to open a new avenue in constrain a variety of alternative cosmologies, especially when future surveys (e.g. Euclid) will open the possibility to extend it up to z sim 2.

In this work we perform an observational data analysis on Einsteinian cubic gravity and $f(P)$ gravity with the objective of constraining the parameter space of the theories. We use the 30 point $z-H(z)$ cosmic chronometer data as the observational t
ool for our analysis along with the BAO and the CMB peak parameters. The $chi^2$ statistic is used for the fitting analysis and it is minimized to obtain the best fit values for the free model parameters. We have used the Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm to obtain bounds for the free parameters. To achieve this we used the publicly available textit{CosmoMC} code to put parameter bounds and subsequently generate contour plots for them with different confidence intervals. Besides finding the Hubble parameter $H$ in terms of the redshift $z$ theoretically from our gravity models, we have exercised correlation coefficients and two textit{machine learning} models, namely the linear regression (LR) and artificial neural network (ANN), for the estimation of $H(z)$. For this purpose, we have developed a textit{Python} package for finding the parameter space, performing the subsequent statistical analysis and prediction analysis using machine learning. We compared both of our theoretical and estimated values of $H(z)$ with the observations. It is seen that our theoretical and estimated models from machine learning performed significantly well when compared with the observations.
An approach to estimate the spatial curvature $Omega_k$ from data independently of dynamical models is suggested, through kinematic parameterizations of the comoving distance ($D_{C}(z)$) with third degree polynomial, of the Hubble parameter ($H(z)$)
with a second degree polynomial and of the deceleration parameter ($q(z)$) with first order polynomial. All these parameterizations were done as function of redshift $z$. We used SNe Ia dataset from Pantheon compilation with 1048 distance moduli estimated in the range $0.01<z<2.3$ with systematic and statistical errors and a compilation of 31 $H(z)$ data estimated from cosmic chronometers. The spatial curvature found for $D_C(z)$ parametrization was $Omega_{k}=-0.03^{+0.24+0.56}_{-0.30-0.53}$. The parametrization for deceleration parameter $q(z)$ resulted in $Omega_{k}=-0.08^{+0.21+0.54}_{-0.27-0.45}$. The $H(z)$ parametrization has shown incompatibilities between $H(z)$ and SNe Ia data constraints, so these analyses were not combined. The $D_C(z)$ and $q(z)$ parametrizations are compatible with the spatially flat Universe as predicted by many inflation models and data from CMB. This type of analysis is very appealing as it avoids any bias because it does not depend on assumptions about the matter content of the Universe for estimating $Omega_k$.
We study observational constraints on the cosmographic functions up to the fourth derivative of the scale factor with respect to cosmic time, i.e., the so-called snap function, using the non-parametric method of Gaussian Processes. As observational d
ata we use the Hubble parameter data. Also we use mock data sets to estimate the future forecast and study the performance of this type of data to constrain cosmographic functions. The combination between a non-parametric method and the Hubble parameter data is investigated as a strategy to reconstruct cosmographic functions. In addition, our results are quite general because they are not restricted to a specific type of functional dependency of the Hubble parameter. We investigate some advantages of using cosmographic functions instead of cosmographic series, since the former are general definitions free of approximations. In general, our results do not deviate significantly from $Lambda CDM$. We determine a transition redshift $z_{tr}=0.637^{+0.165}_{-0.175}$ and $H_{0}=69.45 pm 4.34$. Also assuming priors for the Hubble constant we obtain $z_{tr}=0.670^{+0.210}_{-0.120}$ with $H_{0}=67.44$ (Planck) and $z_{tr}=0.710^{+0.159}_{-0.111}$ with $H_{0}=74.03$(SH0ES). Our main results are summarized in table 2.
We use cosmology-independent measurements of the expansion history in the redshift range 0.1 < z <1.2 and compare them with the Cosmic Microwave Background-derived expansion history predictions. The motivation is to investigate if the tension between
the local (cosmology independent) Hubble constant H0 value and the Planck-derived H0 is also present at other redshifts. We conclude that there is no tension between Planck and cosmology independent-measurements of the Hubble parameter H(z) at 0.1 < z < 1.2 for the LCDM model (odds of tension are only 1:15, statistically not significant). Considering extensions of the LCDM model does not improve these odds (actually makes them worse), thus favouring the simpler model over its extensions. On the other hand the H(z) data are also not in tension with the local H0 measurements but the combination of all three data-sets shows a highly significant tension (odds ~ 1:400). Thus the new data deepen the mystery of the mismatch between Planck and local H0 measurements, and cannot univocally determine wether it is an effect localised at a particular redshift. Having said this, we find that assuming the NGC4258 maser distance as the correct anchor for H0, brings the odds to comfortable values. Further, using only the expansion history measurements we constrain, within the LCDM model, H0 = 68.5 +- 3.5 and Omega_m = 0.32 +- 0.05 without relying on any CMB prior. We also address the question of how smooth the expansion history of the universe is given the cosmology independent data and conclude that there is no evidence for deviations from smoothness on the expansion history, neither variations with time in the value of the equation of state of dark energy.
We investigate the evolution of the star formation rate (SFR)-density relation in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS) and the Great Observatories Origin Deep Survey (GOODS) fields up to z~1.6. In addition to the traditional method, in which
the environment is defined according to a statistical measurement of the local galaxy density, we use a dynamical approach, where galaxies are classified according to three different environment regimes: group, filament-like, and field. Both methods show no evidence of a SFR-density reversal. Moreover, group galaxies show a mean SFR lower than other environments up to z~1, while at earlier epochs group and field galaxies exhibit consistent levels of star formation (SF) activity. We find that processes related to a massive dark matter halo must be dominant in the suppression of the SF below z~1, with respect to purely density-related processes. We confirm this finding by studying the distribution of galaxies in different environments with respect to the so-called Main Sequence (MS) of star-forming galaxies. Galaxies in both group and filament-like environments preferentially lie below the MS up to z~1, with group galaxies exhibiting lower levels of star-forming activity at a given mass. At z>1, the star-forming galaxies in groups reside on the MS. Groups exhibit the highest fraction of quiescent galaxies up to z~1, after which group, filament-like, and field environments have a similar mix of galaxy types. We conclude that groups are the most efficient locus for star-formation quenching. Thus, a fundamental difference exists between bound and unbound objects, or between dark matter haloes of different masses.
