We investigate to which extent a time variation of the gravitational constant or other fundamental constants affects the best fit of the Hubble diagram of type Ia supernovae. In particular, we show that a slow increase of $G$ in the past, below experimental constraints, can reconcile the SNe Ia observations with an open zero-$\Lambda$ universe.

  1. Investigating a Possible Variation of the Gravitational Constant Through Gas Mass Fraction Measurements and Type Ia Supernovae Observations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5

    Non-parametric reconstruction of G(z) from cluster f_gas and Pantheon+ under L∝G^1.46 finds constant G consistent, with only mild low-z departures allowed.

  2. Cosmological Impact of Redshift-Dependent Type Ia Supernovae Calibration

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A phenomenological redshift-dependent SNIa magnitude correction shows no evidence in ΛCDM but is preferred at 4.3σ with dynamical dark energy, reducing Hubble tension to 1.5σ.
