The cosmic late-time acceleration : theoretical models and observational constraints

In this thesis we place constraints on models of the late-time acceleration of the universe. We put constraints on DGP braneworld models using supernovae, the cosmic microwave background shift parameter, and the baryon oscillation peak in the SDSS luminous red galaxy sample. The flat self-accelerati...
