The energy conditions and model selection in the local Universe
Namit Chandak, Fulvio Melia, Junjie Wei
The four principal energy conditions (ECs) in general relativity prohibit negative energies, repulsive gravity and superluminal energy flows. One must invoke exotic matter to viola…
Model selection with the Pantheon+ Type Ia SN sample
Namit Chandak, Fulvio Melia, Junjie Wei
Recent discoveries, e.g., by JWST and DESI, have elevated the level of tension with inflationary CDM. For example, the empirical evidence now suggests that the standard model vi…
Model selection using the HII galaxy Hubble diagram
Jun-Jie Wei, Fulvio Melia
The proposal to use HII galaxies (HIIGx) and giant extragalactic HII regions (GEHR) as standard candles to construct the Hubble diagram at redshifts beyond the current reach of Typ…
Fitting the Union2.1 SN Sample with the R_h=ct Universe
Fulvio Melia
The analysis of Type Ia supernova data over the past decade has been a notable success story in cosmology. These standard candles offer us an unparalleled opportunity of studying t…
The Galactic Center: An Interacting System of Unusual Sources
F. Yusef-Zade, F. Melia, M. Wardle
The region bounded by the inner tens of light years at the center of the Milky Way contains five principal components that coexist within the central deep gravitational potential w…
