A 10\% difference in the scale for the Hubble parameter constitutes a clear problem for cosmology. Here, considering angular distribution of Type Ia supernovae (SN) within the Pantheon compilation and working within flat $\Lambda$CDM cosmology, we observe a correlation between higher $H_0$ and the CMB dipole direction, confirming our previous results for strongly-lensed quasars \cite{Krishnan:2021dyb}. Concretely, we record a $\sim 1$ km/s/Mpc variation in $H_0$ at antipodal points on the sky within the Pantheon sample, which is evident in the Low $z$ subsample ($z \lesssim 0.075$) and gets enhanced by higher redshift SN. Our work raises the possibility that we may be at the precision required to probe anisotropic Hubble expansions, while providing a concrete prediction for future inferences of $H_0$.

  1. Multipolar structure of the local expansion rate from incomplete sky data

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    CF4 data yield a 3.3σ excess dipole in the local expansion-rate fluctuation field at (l,b)=(290°,-4°)±5°, sourced mainly by z∈[0.03,0.05], with quadrupole/octupole consistent with ΛCDM and no multipole-vector alignments.

  2. Domain-wall Quintessence

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A Hubble-scale domain wall quintessence model produces anisotropic expansion but is tightly constrained by Planck CMB quadrupole limits and supernova data to a negligible contribution, favoring standard LambdaCDM.

  3. New constraints on cosmic anisotropy from galaxy clusters using an improved dipole fitting method

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Galaxy cluster observations yield two preferred directions with cosmic anisotropy amplitude of about 5.3 times 10 to the minus 4 at roughly 1 sigma overall significance, though higher in the XMM-Newton subsample.

  4. Probing cosmic anisotropy with galaxy clusters and supernovae

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Analysis of galaxy cluster and supernova data reveals a ~2σ directional variation in the Hubble constant, robust across calibration methods and aligned with the CMB dipole.
