Cosmological Constraints using the newest VLT-KMOS HII Galaxies and the full Planck CMB spectrum

Abstract

We present novel cosmological constraints based on a joint analysis of our HII galaxies (HIIG) Hubble relation with the full Planck Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy spectrum and the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) probes. The HII galaxies span a large redshift range $(0.088\le z\le 2.5)$, reaching significantly higher redshifts than available SNIa and hence they probe the cosmic expansion at earlier times. Our independent constraints compare well with those based on the Pantheon compilation of SNIa data, which we also analyse. We find our results to be in agreement with the conformal $\Lambda$CDM model within 1$\sigma$. We also use our HIIG data to examine the behaviour of the dark energy equation of state parameter under the CPL parameterisation, $w=w_0+w_a\frac{z}{1+z}$, and find consistent results with those based on SNIa, although the degeneracy in the parameter space as well as the individual parameter uncertainties, when marginalizing one over the other, are quite large.
