The present acceleration of the Universe strongly indicated by recent observational data can be modeled in the scope of a scalar-tensor theory of gravity. We show that it is possible to determine the structure of this theory (the scalar field potential and the functional form of the scalar-gravity coupling) along with the present density of dustlike matter from the following two observable cosmological functions: the luminosity distance and the linear density perturbation in the dustlike matter component as functions of redshift. Explicit results are presented in the first order in the small inverse Brans-Dicke parameter 1/omega.

  1. Rolling Galileons: Evolving Braiding Strength for Viable Dark Energy

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Rolling Galileon gravity, with field-dependent coupling coefficients, can produce a viable phantom-crossing dark energy with healthy void screening and an acceptable fit to expansion data.

  2. A Master Equation for Screening in Luminal Horndeski Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A master screening equation is derived for luminal Horndeski gravity that recovers Vainshtein and Chameleon mechanisms and introduces Phaedrus screening with screening radius scaling linearly with source mass.

  3. Post-Newtonian Constraints on Scalar-Tensor Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Unified post-Newtonian analysis reveals that Palatini scalar-tensor theories often face weaker Solar System bounds than metric versions due to stronger Yukawa suppression, with Palatini f(R) reproducing GR limits for ...

  4. Post-Newtonian Constraints on Scalar-Tensor Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A unified post-Newtonian analysis shows that metric vs Palatini scalar-tensor gravity can yield different γ, β and Yukawa suppression, with Palatini f(R̂) recovering GR’s exterior PN limit for point sources.

  5. The Status of Single Scalar Field Dark Energy

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.5

    Cosmological data can constrain only a handful of EFT parameters for single-scalar dark energy; extended models show modest preference over Λ but remain underdetermined and challenged by fifth forces and screening.

  6. Effective Phantom Dark Energy: What Cosmological Reconstruction Does and Does Not Imply

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Effective phantom dark energy is a background-level reconstruction that does not imply fundamental pathologies such as ghost instabilities or null energy condition violation by the underlying stress tensor.
