Abstract

We revise observational constraints on the class of models of modified gravity which at low redshifts lead to a power-law cosmology. To this end we use available public data on Supernova Ia and on baryon acoustic oscillations. We show that the expansion regime a(t) ~ tβ with β close to 3/2 in a spatially flat universe is a good fit to these data.
