We analyze the stellar ages obtained from a combination of Lick indices in Borghi et al. for 140 massive and passive galaxies selected in the LEGA-C survey at $0.6<z<0.9$. From their median age--redshift relation, we derive a new direct measurement of $H(z)$ without any cosmological model assumption using the cosmic chronometer approach. We thoroughly study the main systematics involved in this analysis: the choice of the Lick indices combination, the binning method, the assumed stellar population model, and the adopted star formation history; these effects are included in the total error budget. We obtain $H(z=0.75)= 98.8\pm33.6~\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}\,Mpc^{-1}}$. In parallel, we also propose a simple framework based on a cosmological model to describe the age--redshift relations in the context of galaxy downsizing. This allows us to derive constraints on the Hubble constant $H_0$ and the typical galaxy formation time. This new $H(z)$ measurement, whose accuracy is currently limited by the scarcity of the sample analyzed, paves the road for the joint study of the stellar populations of individual passive galaxies and the expansion history of the Universe in light of future spectroscopic surveys.

  1. Model-independent test of the cosmic distance duality relation with recent observational data

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    Two model-independent methods applied to latest SN and BAO data find the cosmic distance duality relation consistent with observations within 1 sigma and no evidence of violation.

  2. Cosmic CORALS: Timing the Universe with high-z star clusters

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Star clusters at z=9.6 combined with local globular cluster ages give H0=70(+27,-16) km/s/Mpc and Omega_m=0.33(+0.37,-0.21), with a forecast that ~300 clusters could reach 4% precision.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Intrinsic dispersion in the quasar UV/X-ray luminosity relation decreases with redshift above z~1.6 and modeling it as redshift-dependent shifts Omega_m0 by ~0.025 in flat LambdaCDM.

    A cosmic-age-based inverse distance ladder with DESI DR2, DESY5, SGL, CC and GRB data gives H0=71.59±0.94 km/s/Mpc and ΩK=0.001±0.038.

  6. Investigating the cosmic distance duality relation with gamma-ray bursts

    astro-ph.CO 2025-09 reject novelty 5.0

    Combined gamma-ray burst and multi-probe data show no significant violation of the cosmic distance duality relation and prefer a Planck-like Hubble constant.

    Combining 104 FRBs with CC, SNe, and BAO data yields 10-43% tighter constraints on Omega_b, H0, and dark energy parameters in LambdaCDM, wCDM, CPL, and three f(R) models, with modest preference for extensions over LambdaCDM.
