Is the observable Universe consistent with the cosmological principle?
The cosmological principle (CP)—the notion that the Universe is spatially isotropic and
homogeneous on large scales—underlies a century of progress in cosmology. It is …

Potential signature of a quadrupolar hubble expansion in Pantheon+ supernovae
JA Cowell, S Dhawan… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
The assumption of isotropy–that the Universe looks the same in all directions on large
scales–is fundamental to the standard cosmological model. It is therefore critical to …

Anisotropic distance ladder in Pantheon+ supernovae
R Mc Conville, E Ó Colgáin - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We decompose Pantheon+ Type Ia supernovae (SN) in hemispheres on the sky finding
angular variations up to 4 km/s/Mpc, corresponding to a statistical significance up to 1.9 σ, in …

Testing the cosmological principle with the Pantheon+ sample and the region-fitting method
JP Hu, YY Wang, J Hu, FY Wang - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2024 - aanda.org
The cosmological principle is fundamental to the standard cosmological model. It assumes

The dipole of the Pantheon+ SH0ES data
In this paper we determine the dipole in the distance redshift relation from the Pantheon+
data. We find that, while its amplitude roughly agrees with the dipole found in the cosmic …

Isotropy properties of the absolute luminosity magnitudes of SnIa in the and SH0ES samples
L Perivolaropoulos - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We use the hemisphere comparison method to test the isotropy of the SnIa absolute
magnitudes of the Pantheon+ and SH0ES samples in various redshift/distance bins. We …

Cosmological distances with general-relativistic ray tracing: framework and comparison to cosmographic predictions
HJ Macpherson - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
In this work we present the first results from a new ray-tracing tool to calculate cosmological
distances in the context of fully nonlinear general relativity. We use this tool to study the …
