The recent simultaneous detection of gravitational waves and a gamma ray burst from a neutron star merger significantly shrank the space of viable scalar-tensor theories by demanding that the speed of gravity is equal to that of light. The survived theories belong to the class of degenerate higher order scalar-tensor theories. We study whether these theories are suitable as dark energy candidates. We find scaling solutions in the matter dominated universe that lead to de Sitter solutions at late times without the cosmological constant, realising self-acceleration. We evaluate quasi-static perturbations around self-accelerating solutions and show that the stringent constraints coming from astrophysical objects and gravitational waves can be satisfied, leaving interesting possibilities to test these theories by cosmological observations.

Gravitomagnetic tidal response of relativistic stars in partially screened scalar-tensor theories
In DHOST scalar-tensor theories with partial Vainshtein screening, gravitomagnetic tidal Love numbers deviate from general relativity by roughly ten times the parameter alpha_H, with the deviation growing with multipo...

A Bright Future? Prospects for Cosmological Tests of GR with Multimessenger Gravitational Wave Events
Simulated bright siren events show LVK-era detections will not competitively constrain Horndeski gravity parameters, while one year of Einstein Telescope observations could detect αM ≠ 0 at over 3σ.
