Potentialities of Hubble parameter and expansion rate function data to alleviate Hubble tension

Abstract

Taking advantage of Gaussian process (GP), we obtain an improved estimate of the Hubble constant, $H_0=70.41\pm 1.58$ km s${}^{-1}$ Mpc${}^{-1}$, using Hubble parameter [$H(z)$] from cosmic chronometers (CCH) and expansion rate function [$E(z)$], extracted from type Ia supernovae, data. We also use CCH data, including the ones with full covariance matrix, and $E(z)$ data to obtain a determination of $H_0=72.34_{-1.92}^{+1.90}$ km s${}^{-1}$ Mpc${}^{-1}$, which implies that the involvement of full covariance matrix results in higher values and uncertainties of $H_0$. These results are higher than those obtained by directly reconstructing CCH data with GP. In order to estimate the potential of future CCH data, we simulate two sets of $H(z)$ data and use them to constrain $H_0$ by either using GP reconstruction or fitting them with $E(z)$ data. We find that simulated $H(z)$ data alleviate $H_0$ tension by pushing $H_0$ values higher towards $\sim 70$ km s${}^{-1}$ Mpc${}^{-1}$. We also find that joint $H(z)$ + $E(z)$ data favor higher values of $H_0$, which is also confirmed by constraining $H_0$ in the flat concordance model and 2-order Taylor expansion of $H(z)$. In summary, we conclude that more and better-quality CCH data as well as $E(z)$ data can provide a new and useful perspective on resolving $H_0$ tension.
