Description
We use the CMB, BAO, SN and galaxy weak lensing data to jointly reconstruct the effective dark energy density and the two phenomenological functions (mu and Sigma) describing possible modified gravity effects in the evolution of large scale structure. I will focus on the dependence of such reconstructions on the underlying assumptions (priors) and their implications for dark energy and modified gravity theories.
