Dynamic or Systematic? Bayesian model selection between dark energy and supernova biases

A. N. Ormondroyd, W. J. Handley, M. P. Hobson +2

The Dark Energy Survey 5-year (DES-5Y) supernovae, combined with Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) baryon acoustic oscillations, appear to favour Chevallier-Polarski-Lind…

Nonparametric reconstructions of dynamical dark energy via flexknots

A. N. Ormondroyd, W. J. Handley, M. P. Hobson +1

Recent cosmological surveys have provided unprecedented datasets that can be used to reconstruct the history of the dark energy equation of state. In this work, a free-form "flexkn…

Comparison of dynamical dark energy with ΛCDM in light of DESI DR2

A. N. Ormondroyd, W. J. Handley, M. P. Hobson +1

We present an updated reconstruction of the dark energy equation of state, , using the newly released DESI DR2 Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) data in combination with Pant…

Tilting the scales: weighing prior dependency and global tensions of CMB lensing

A. N. Ormondroyd, W. J. Handley, M. P. Hobson +1

We provide a nested sampling analysis of the combination of CMB lensing experiments with other cosmological measurements. Nested samples can be used to compute global consistency s…

Does gravitational confinement sustain flat galactic rotation curves without dark matter?

W. E. V. Barker, M. P. Hobson, A. N. Lasenby

The short answer is . Specifically, this paper considers a recent body of work which suggests that general relativity requires neither the support of dark mat…

New form of the Kerr-Newman solution

Michael Hobson

A new form of the Kerr-Newman solution is presented. The solution involves a time coordinate which represents the local proper time for a charged massive particle released from res…
