We derive an expression for the luminosity distance in a perturbed Friedmann universe. We define the correlation function and the power spectrum of the luminosity distance fluctuations and express them in terms of the initial spectrum of the Bardeen potential. We present semi-analytical results for the case of a pure CDM universe. We argue that the luminosity distance power spectrum represents a new observational tool which can be used to determine cosmological parameters. In addition, our results shed some light into the debate whether second order small scale fluctuations can mimic an accelerating universe.

  1. Prospect of Measuring the Cosmic Dipole by Associating Strongly Lensed Gravitational Waves with Galaxy Surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Simulations forecast that 10 years of Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer data could detect the cosmic dipole magnitude using strongly lensed GW events, with tighter bounds from combining double, triple, and quadru...

  2. Prospect of Measuring the Cosmic Dipole by Associating Strongly Lensed Gravitational Waves with Galaxy Surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Simulations for Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer forecast that decade-scale samples of strongly lensed GWs can constrain the cosmic dipole magnitude at the few×10^{-3} level when combined with multi-image events.

  3. Impact of inhomogeneous curvature on growth rate measurements from magnitude fluctuations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Full-GR simulations find that inhomogeneous curvature produces only sub-dominant systematic offsets in growth-rate measurements from magnitude fluctuations at z ≲ 0.2 relative to current statistical errors.

  4. On the potential for inhomogeneities to mimic an evolving dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Numerical simulations show that inhomogeneities in a LambdaCDM universe can lead some observers to infer evolving dark energy parameters consistent with DESI at 2-sigma.
