abstract

The $\Lambda$CDM cosmological model provides to first approximation a good description of the universe, but various tensions with data, most notably Hubble tension, persist. In this work we confront $\Lambda$CDM with the Pantheon Type Ia supernovae dataset and perform a two-parameter fit of the distance modulus for a running cut-off $z_{\textrm{max}}$. We observe that in a window between $z_{\textrm{max}} \approx 0.1$ and $z_{\textrm{max}} \approx 0.16$ there is a 1 - 2 $\sigma$ discrepancy with the Planck value $\omega_m = 0.315 \pm 0.007$, which points to a potential matter underdensity. For high-energy theorists, the analysis appears to support the de Sitter Swampland conjecture.

  1. The tidal features of the classical Milky Way satellites: Expected in MOND but inconsistent with cold dark matter models

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Classical MW satellites have high MOND tidal susceptibility at pericentre that matches their observed tidal features and elevated dispersions, while CDM predicts they should be largely resilient.

  2. Interacting dark energy in the early 2020s: a promising solution to the $H_0$ and cosmic shear tensions

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    An interacting dark energy model with coupling proportional to the dark energy density alleviates the H0 and S8 tensions in Planck 2018 data but is not preferred once BAO and supernova data are included.

  3. Cosmology With Low-Redshift Observations: No Signal For New Physics

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Combining SN, BAO, lensing, cosmic chronometer, and growth data, the authors find ΛCDM remains the best dark energy model, with H0 and S8 consistent with most early and late universe probes within 2σ.
