A refined method for measuring cosmological distances using variability and proper motions in AGN with VLBI-detected counter-jets
Jeffrey A. Hodgson, Anthony Carr, David Parkinson +6
In a previous paper, we described a `standard speed-gun' (SSG) distance that uses the speed of light to standardize a ruler under the assumption that the radio variability seen in…
Model independent test of the FLRW metric and the curvature in light of DESI DR2
Cléa Millard, Benjamin L'Huillier, Marian Douspis
We perform a data-driven test of the FLRW metric and the flatness of the Universe, independently of any Dark Energy model, and in light of the latest DESI DR2 results. We use Panth…
Non-parametric estimation of the baryon gas fraction and the cosmological bias with clusters
Hyeon Kim, Raphaël Wicker, Benjamin L'Huillier +3
X-ray observations of galaxy clusters allow us to estimate the gas fraction, and thus the baryon fraction, and its evolution over time. This offers an additional cosmological probe…
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.…
An Analysis of Variance of the Pantheon+ Dataset: Systematics in the Covariance Matrix?
Ryan Keeley, Arman Shafieloo, Benjamin L'Huillier
We investigate the statistics of the available Pantheon+ dataset. Noticing that the value for the best-fit CDM model to the real data is small, we quantify how significa…
Litmus tests of the flat CDM model and model-independent measurement of with LSST and DESI
Benjamin L'Huillier, Ayan Mitra, Arman Shafieloo +2
In this analysis we apply a model-independent framework to test the flat CDM cosmology using simulated SNIa data from the upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and co…
