Abstract
In the present work, the observational consequences of a subclass of the Horndeski theory have been investigated. In this theory a scalar field (tachyon field) is nonminimally coupled to the Gauss–Bonnet invariant through an arbitrary function of the scalar field. By considering a spatially flat FRW universe, the free parameters of the model have been constrained using a joint analysis from observational data of the Type Ia supernovae and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations measurements. The best fit values obtained from these datasets are then used to reconstruct the equation of state parameter of the scalar field. The results show the phantom, quintessence and phantom divide line crossing behavior of the equation of state and also cosmological viability of the model.
