Testing effective dark energy models in gravitationally bound

The forthcoming generation of astrophysical and cosmological surveys are expected to generate an extensive and groundbreaking collection of data. The unmatched quantity and quality of these observations should boost our knowledge of the Universe, especially in regards to the dark sector. The true nature of the dark energy, either gravitational or related to fundamental fields, may therefore be unveiled in the next decades. Within this framework, the following contribution investigates the viability of a dark energy model based upon Non-local Gravity. The main cosmological features of the model are presented, and the impact of non-locality within the non-linear regime is analysed through astrophysical tests.
