The subtle statistics of the distance ladder: On the distance prior and selection effects
Harry Desmond, Richard Stiskalek, José Antonio Nájera +1
Statistical methodology is rarely considered significant in distance-ladder studies or a potential contributor to the Hubble tension. We suggest it should be, highlighting two appr…
Comparing measures of the Hubble and BAO tensions in CDM and possible solutions in gravity
José Antonio Nájera, Indranil Banik, Harry Desmond +1
We test whether symmetric teleparallel gravity theories can solve the Hubble tension consistently with DESI DR2 BAO. We consider three functional forms: logarithmic,…
Testing the local supervoid solution to the Hubble tension with direct distance tracers
Richard Stiskalek, Harry Desmond, Indranil Banik
Several observational studies suggest that the local few hundred Mpc around the Local Group are significantly underdense based on source number counts in redshift space across much…
The CosmoVerse White Paper: Addressing observational tensions in cosmology with systematics and fundamental physics
Eleonora Di Valentino, Jackson Levi Said, Adam Riess +533
The standard model of cosmology has provided a good phenomenological description of a wide range of observations both at astrophysical and cosmological scales for several decades.…
Testing the local void hypothesis using baryon acoustic oscillation measurements over the last twenty years
Indranil Banik, Vasileios Kalaitzidis
A promising solution to the Hubble tension is a local void that is roughly 20% underdense out to 300 Mpc, as suggested by galaxy number counts in the near-infrared. Gravitationally…
