On Lorentz Variability of Magnetically Dominated Relativistic Outflows

V. I. Berezhiani, N. L. Shatashvili, A. G. Tevzadze

We show that magnetized relativistic outflows can exhibit a relativistic effect in which Lorentz transformation maps spatially extended magnetic field structure into apparent tempo…

Without the Sound Horizon (or Supernovae): A 2% Measurement in DESI DR1

E. A. Zaborowski, P. Taylor, K. Honscheid +58

The sound horizon scale is a key source of information for early-time measurements, and is therefore a common target of new physics proposed to solve the Hubble tension…
