A Hubble Constant Estimate from Galaxy Cluster and type Ia SNe Observations

Abstract

In this work, we constrain the Hubble constant parameter, $H_0$, using a combination of the Pantheon sample and galaxy clusters (GC) measurements from minimal cosmological assumptions. Assuming the validity of the cosmic distance duality relation, an estimator is created for $H_0$ that only depends on simple geometrical distances, which is evaluated from Pantheon and a GC angular diameter distance sample afterward. The statistical and systematic errors in GC measurements are summed in quadrature in our analysis. We find $H_0=67.22\pm 6.07$ $\mathrm{km}{\mathrm{s}}^{-1}\mathrm{Mp}{\mathrm{c}}^{-1}$ in $1\sigma$ confidence level (C.L.). This measurement presents an error of around 9\%, showing that future and better GC measurements can shed light on the current Hubble tension
