abstract
In this work, we perform a full-spectrum fitting of 350 massive and passive galaxies selected as cosmic chronometers from the LEGA-C ESO public survey to derive their stellar ages, metallicities, and star-formation histories. We extensively test our results by assessing their dependence on the possible contribution of dust, calibration of noise and signal, and the use of photometric data in addition to spectral information; we as well identify indicators of the correct convergence of the results, including the shape of the posterior distributions, the analysis of specific spectral features, and the correct reproduction of the observed spectrum. We derive a clear age-redshift trend compatible with the aging in a standard cosmological model, showing a clear downsizing pattern, with more massive galaxies being formed at higher redshift ($z_f\sim2.5$) with respect to lower massive ones ($z_f\sim2$). From these data, we measure the differential aging of this population of cosmic chronometers to derive a new measurement of the Hubble parameter, obtaining $H(z=0.8) = 113.1 \pm 15.1 (\mathrm{stat.}) ^{+29.1}_{-11.3} (\mathrm{syst.})\ \mathrm{ km\ s^{-1}\ Mpc^{-1}}$. This analysis allows us for the first time to compare the differential ages of cosmic chronometers measured on the same sample with two completely different methods, the full-spectrum fit (this work) and the analysis of Lick indices, known to correlate with the age and metallicity of the stellar populations \citep{Borghi2022a}. Albeit an understood offset in the absolute ages, the differential ages have proven to be extremely compatible between the two methods, despite the very different data, assumptions, and models considered, demonstrating the robustness of the method.

Modified Cosmology from Mass-to-Horizon Relation: Observational Bounds
Observational constraints pin the MHR entropy exponent to |m−1|≲10⁻⁴ when γ is fixed, and Bayesian evidence disfavors all tested horizon-entropy extensions relative to ΛCDM.

A dark energy parameterization independent constraint of the spatial curvature $\Omega_K$
A new three-parameter fit to the comoving distance gives a dark-energy-model-independent spatial curvature constraint of Ω_K = -0.01 ± 0.09, consistent with flatness.

Cosmic CORALS: Timing the Universe with high-z star clusters
Star clusters at z=9.6 combined with local globular cluster ages give H0=70(+27,-16) km/s/Mpc and Omega_m=0.33(+0.37,-0.21), with a forecast that ~300 clusters could reach 4% precision.

Investigating the cosmic distance duality relation with gamma-ray bursts
Combined gamma-ray burst and multi-probe data show no significant violation of the cosmic distance duality relation and prefer a Planck-like Hubble constant.

Is Dark Energy an Effective Manifestation of Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics? -- Insights from DESI
Two phenomenological dark matter creation rates can reproduce the accelerated expansion of the universe and fit current background data as well as or slightly better than LambdaCDM for some DESI-based data combinations.

Growth of Cosmic Structures in generalized mass-to-horizon relation Entropic Cosmology
The n=1 entropic cosmology model is shown to match f-sigma-8 growth data only because its background is effectively Lambda-CDM, contradicting the model's own Friedmann equation.

Measuring the expansion history of the Universe with cosmic chronometers
A review of the cosmic chronometer method: differential ages of massive passive galaxies yield cosmology-independent H(z) measurements, now at about 5% accuracy at z~0.5 and potentially percent-level H0 with future surveys.
