Observational Constraints on $f(T)$ Gravity from Model-Independent Data

Understand

We establish new constraints on $f(T)$ gravity models by using cosmological data.

• In particular, we investigate the restrictions given by the gas mass fraction measurements of galaxy clusters and transversal BAO data.
• Both data sets are regarded as weakly dependent on a fiducial cosmology.
• In addition, we also include a CMB measurement of the temperature power spectrum first peak, along with $H(z)$ values from cosmic chronometers and supernovae data from the Pantheon data set.
