Abstract

We use updated Type Ia Pantheon+ supernova, baryon acoustic oscillation, and Hubble parameter (now also accounting for correlations) data, as well as new reverberation-measured C IV quasar data, and quasar angular size, H II starburst galaxy, reverberation-measured Mg II quasar, and Amati-correlated gamma-ray burst data to constrain cosmological parameters. We show that these data sets result in mutually consistent constraints and jointly use them to constrain cosmological parameters in six different spatially-flat and non-flat cosmological models. Our analysis provides summary model-independent determinations of two key cosmological parameters: the Hubble constant, , and the current non-relativistic matter density parameter, . Our summary error bars are 2.4 and 2.3 times those obtained using the flat CDM model and Planck TT,TE,EE+lowE+lensing cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy data. Our value is very consistent with that from the local expansion rate based on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch data, is 2 lower than that from the local expansion rate based on Type Ia supernova and Cepheid data, and is 2 higher than that in the flat CDM model based on Planck TT,TE,EE+lowE+lensing CMB data. Our data compilation shows at most mild evidence for non-flat spatial hypersurfaces, but more significant evidence for dark energy dynamics, 2 or larger in the spatially-flat dynamical dark energy models we study.
