We perform a comprehensive cosmological study of the $H_0$ tension between the direct local measurement and the model-dependent value inferred from the Cosmic Microwave Background. With the recent measurement of $H_0$ this tension has raised to more than $3\sigma$. We consider changes in the early time physics without modifying the late time cosmology. We also reconstruct the late time expansion history in a model independent way with minimal assumptions using distances measures from Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and Type Ia Supernovae, finding that at $z<0.6$ the recovered shape of the expansion history is less than 5 % different than that of a standard LCDM model. These probes also provide a model insensitive constraint on the low-redshift standard ruler, measuring directly the combination $r_s h$ where $H_0=h \times 100$ km/s/Mpc and $r_s$ is the sound horizon at radiation drag (the standard ruler), traditionally constrained by CMB observations. Thus $r_s$ and $H_0$ provide absolute scales for distance measurements (anchors) at opposite ends of the observable Universe. We calibrate the cosmic distance ladder and obtain a model-independent determination of the standard ruler for acoustic scale, $r_s$. The tension in $H_0$ reflects a mismatch between our determination of $r_s$ and its standard, CMB-inferred value. Without including high-l Planck CMB polarization data (i.e., only considering the "recommended baseline" low-l polarisation and temperature and the high l temperature data), a modification of the early-time physics to include a component of dark radiation with an effective number of species around 0.4 would reconcile the CMB-inferred constraints, and the local $H_0$ and standard ruler determinations. The inclusion of the "preliminary" high-l Planck CMB polarisation data disfavours this solution.

Cosmological intercept tension

astro-ph.CO · 2026-04-30 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Tensions in the supernova intercept a_B at z~0.01 in PantheonPlus and z~0.1 in DES-Y5 point to data systematics or inter-survey inconsistencies rather than new physics, aligning H0 measurements and reducing support for dynamical dark energy.

Planck 2018 results. VI. Cosmological parameters

astro-ph.CO · 2018-07-17 · accept · novelty 5.0

Final Planck CMB data confirms the flat 6-parameter ΛCDM model with Ω_c h² = 0.120 ± 0.001, Ω_b h² = 0.0224 ± 0.0001, n_s = 0.965 ± 0.004, τ = 0.054 ± 0.007, H_0 = 67.4 ± 0.5 km/s/Mpc, and no strong evidence for extensions.

Beyond CPL: Evidence for dynamical dark energy in three-parameter models

astro-ph.CO · 2025-10-04 · conditional · novelty 4.0

Two three-parameter extensions of the mAH dark energy parametrization are compared to LambdaCDM, wCDM, CPL and others using CMB, DESI BAO, H(z), RSD and three SNIa samples, yielding Delta chi-squared improvements of 6-38 and 2-5 sigma tensions with LambdaCDM.

The Hubble tension: A decade review

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-18 · conditional · novelty 3.0

Pure early or late fixes to the Hubble tension are tightly constrained; remaining options are combined early-late interacting dark energy or new physics at the local-to-homogeneous transition.

The Hubble Tension and Early Dark Energy

astro-ph.CO · 2022-11-08 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

The Hubble tension between local and early-universe expansion-rate measurements may be resolved by early dark energy that speeds up expansion before recombination while satisfying existing constraints.
