Abstract
Abstract Baryon acoustic oscillation measurements by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (Data Release 1) have revealed exciting results that show evidence for dynamical dark energy at ∼ 3 σ when combined with cosmic microwave background and type Ia supernova observations. These measurements are based on the w 0 w a CDM model of dark energy. The evidence is less in other dark energy models such as the w CDM model. In order to avoid imposing a dark energy model, we reconstruct the distance measures and the equation of the state of dark energy independent of any dark energy model and driven only by observational data. Our results show that the model-agnostic (in terms of late-time models) evidence for…
