Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper, we quantify the ability of multiple measurements of high-redshift quasars to constrain several theories of modified gravity, including the Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati braneworld scenario, generalized Chaplygin gas, f(T) modified gravity, and modified polytropic Cardassian model. Recently released sample of 1598 quasars with X-ray and ultraviolet flux measurements in the redshift range of 0.036 ≤ z ≤ 5.1003, as well as a compilation of 120 intermediate-luminosity radio quasars covering the redshift of 0.46 < z < 2.76 are respectively used as standard probes at higher redshifts. For all considered modified gravity theories, our results show that there is still some possibility that the standard Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) scenario might not be the best cosmological model preferred by the current quasar observations. In order to improve cosmological constraints, the quasar data are also combined with the latest observations of baryon acoustic oscillations, which strongly complement the constraints. Finally, we discuss the support given by the data to modified gravity theories, applying different information theoretic techniques like the Akaike information criterion, Bayesian information criterion, and Jensen–Shannon divergence.
