Simultaneously solving the H0 and a8 tensions with late dark energy

Lavinia Heisenberg et al.

Summary: In a model independent approach, generic conditions for solving both the H0 and a8 tensions in the late-time modification of ACDM expansion history are derived under the assumption of small deviations from ACDM. Necessary conditions on the equation of state of a dark energy fluid with deviations encoded in the expansion history and gravitational coupling constant are presented. Solving the tensions requires the crossing of the phantom divide by w(z) if Geff = G and G < 0 at some redshift z for Geff = G + 8G(z) and w(z) < -1.

On the use of galaxies as clocks and the universal expansion

Anders Ahlstrom Kjerrgren et al.

Summary: In this study, we aimed to rederive the 8 Hubble parameter values obtained from estimated relative galaxy ages by Simon et al. We found that to achieve the claimed precision level in H(z), unrealistically small galaxy age uncertainties must be assumed, and some parameter values will be correlated. Our analysis showed that the uncertainties in the Hubble parameter values are significantly larger when 8 independent H(z) are obtained using Monte Carlo sampling. Smaller uncertainties can be obtained using Gaussian processes, but the results are strongly correlated. We did not obtain any useful constraints on the Hubble parameter from the galaxy data employed.

Did the Universe experience a pressure non-crushing type cosmological singularity in the recent past?

S. D. Odintsov et al.

Summary: Recent literature suggests that the H-0 tension could be resolved if there was an abrupt physics transition that altered the Cepheid parameters in the recent past of the Universe (approximately 70-150 million years ago). This study explores the possibility that this transition was caused by the smooth passage of the Universe through a pressure finite-time cosmological singularity. The authors discuss how this scenario can be realized using F(R) gravity, without the need for a scalar field or specific matter fluids, and highlight the potential effects of the pressure singularity on the gravitational constant and trajectories of bound objects in the Universe.

The effects of lensing by local structures on the dipole of radio source counts

Summary: Our peculiar motion in the Universe leaves dipole effects in the cosmic microwave background and the distribution of extragalactic radio sources. The inclusion of lensing dipole effects does not reduce the tension between CMB and radio source dipole measurements, which provide different results for our velocity of motion through the Universe. Additionally, the size of the lensing dipole can be constrained to be kappa< 3 . 10(-2) at the 2 sigma level.

Solar system peculiar motion from the Hubble diagram of quasars and testing the cosmological principle

Ashok K. Singal

Summary: This study determines the peculiar motion of the Solar system from the m-z Hubble diagram of quasars and finds that the peculiar velocity is approximately 22 times larger than that from the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) dipole. The direction of the peculiar velocity matches with the CMBR dipole with an error range of about 2 sigma. Previous studies have also shown larger peculiar velocities compared to the CMBR value, but in agreement with its direction. These findings suggest the need for alternative causes for the observed dipoles and indicate the possible existence of an inherent anisotropy in the Universe.

New evidence and analysis of cosmological-scale asymmetry in galaxy spin directions

Lior Shamir

Summary: In the past decades, various cosmological theories proposing a major axis in the Universe have been put forward. These theories can be based on the geometry of the Universe or multiverse theories like black hole cosmology. The existence of a cosmological-scale axis is supported by evidence such as the dipole axis formed by the distribution of the cosmic microwave background. This study investigates another form of the cosmological-scale axis, based on the distribution of spin directions of spiral galaxies, and finds that the axis profiles are nearly identical when the redshift distribution of the galaxies is similar.

Is local H0 at odds with dark energy EFT?

Bum-Hoon Lee et al.

Summary: Local determinations of H-0 fall within a range of approximately 70 km/s/Mpc (TRGB) to 76 km/s/Mpc (Tully-Fisher). In contrast, BAO data calibrated in an early Lambda CDM universe indicate H-0 of approximately 67.5 km/s/Mpc, consistent with Planck-Lambda CDM. By studying different dark energy equations of state and mock BAO data, it is shown that H-0 can increase under certain conditions. Specific models such as Brans-Dicke/f(R) and Kinetic Gravity Braiding within the Horndeski class can also lead to modest increases in H-0.

On the kinematic cosmic dipole tension

Summary: This paper revisits the theoretical derivation of the dipole in the number counts of sources, taking into account the redshift evolution of the population of sources. It argues that the standard theoretical description of the dipole may be inaccurate if the spectral index and magnification bias of the sources vary with redshift. An alternative expression that depends on the time evolution of the population of sources is provided, and the values of this evolution rate are determined to remove the tension with the CMB dipole.

The Pantheon plus Analysis: Evaluating Peculiar Velocity Corrections in Cosmological Analyses with Nearby Type Ia Supernovae

Erik R. Peterson et al.

Summary: Separating the redshift components caused by expansion and peculiar motion is crucial for measuring the Hubble constant and the equation-of-state parameter of dark energy. In this study, the researchers analyze the dominant motions in nearby peculiar velocities, including large-scale coherent-flow motions and small-scale motions within galaxy groups. Using a sample of 584 low-redshift supernovae, they evaluate the effectiveness of correcting these motions and find that combining group assignments and coherent-flow corrections yield the greatest improvement in Hubble residual scatter. The results also show that optimal flow corrections significantly reduce Hubble residuals, suggesting that unrecognized local structure is unlikely to resolve the Hubble tension.

Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Cosmology from cosmic shear and robustness to data calibration

A. Amon et al.

Summary: This work presents the Dark Energy Survey Year 3 cosmic-shear measurements and cosmological constraints based on an analysis of over 100 million source galaxies, while a companion paper provides further details. The measurements are consistent with the Λ CDM model and yield precise results for the clustering amplitude and S-8. The low-redshift measurements agree with the Planck Cosmic Microwave Background result, but the high-redshift prediction is lower. The measurements demonstrate internal consistency and robustness to calibration systematics and blending of galaxies. The precision of the cosmological constraints is mainly limited by modeling baryonic effects and intrinsic alignments.

Early Universe Physics Insensitive and Uncalibrated Cosmic Standards: Constraints on ωm and Implications for the Hubble Tension

Weikang Lin et al.

Summary: This study examines the possibility of resolving the Hubble tension by exploring constraints on the evolution of the cosmic background that are insensitive to early universe physics. By linking the absolute sizes of two horizons as free parameters and using cosmic standards such as CMB peak angular size, baryon acoustic oscillations, and Type Ia supernovae, strong constraints on the post-recombination cosmic background are provided. The combination of these constraints with nonlocal observations results in reduced sensitivity to early universe physics and suggests a tension between post-recombination, nonlocal observations and local measurements.

Measurements of the Hubble Constant: Tensions in Perspective*

Summary: Recent advancements in measuring the distances to nearby galaxies have led to improved calibrations of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) method, resulting in consistent values for the Hubble constant. The TRGB results show no statistically significant difference with values determined from the cosmic microwave background, and are also in agreement with other calibration methods such as SHoES and Spitzer plus Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Key Project Cepheid calibrations. The simplicity and small systematic uncertainties of the TRGB method make it a promising tool for exploring cosmological models without the need for additional physics beyond the standard (?CDM) cosmological model.
