Testing $\Lambda$CDM cosmology in a binned universe: anomalies in the deceleration parameter

Abstract

We study the reconstructed deceleration parameter splitting the data in different redshift bins, fitting both a cosmographic luminosity distance and also assuming a flat $\Lambda$CDM model, using the Pantheon+ sample of type Ia supernova data (SNIA). We observe tensions $\sim 2\sigma -3\sigma$ for different redshift and distance indicators if the full sample is used. However, those tensions disappear when the SNIA at $z<0.008$ are removed. If the data is splitted in 2 hemispheres according to our movement w.r.t CMB, a strange $3.8\sigma$ tension appears in one of the samples between particular redshift bins. Finally, considering posterior distribution as Gaussian, general linear model prefers a positive slope for $q_0$ across redshift bins opposed to a zero slope expected in a $\Lambda$CDM universe. We discuss possible explanations for our results and the influence of lowest redshift SNIA data in cosmological analysis.
