Probing alternative cosmologies through the inverse distance ladder

Abstract: We study the implications of a combined analysis of cosmic standard candles and standard rulers on the viability of cosmological models beyond the cosmological concordance model ΛCDM. To this end, we employ well-established data in the form of the joint lightcurve analysis supernova compilation, baryon acoustic oscillations, and cosmic microwave background data on the one hand, and a recently proposed set of quasars as objects of known brightness on the other hand. The advantage of including the latter is that… Show more

“…The presence of the massless graviton allows gravitational wave observations to be satisfied without severely restricting the parameter * marcus.hogas@fysik.su.se space of the theory [7], as opposed to many other modified gravity models. Bimetric gravity is also compatible with cosmological observations like the cosmic microwave background (CMB), type Ia supernovae (SNIa), and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and it exhibits a screening mechanism that restores general relativity results on solar-system scales [16][17][18][19][20][21]. Among the interesting properties of the theory are:…”

“…These include HIIG starburst galaxy data that reach to ∼ 2.4 (Siegel et al 2005;Plionis et al 2009;Mania & Ratra 2012;Chavez et al 2014;González-Morán et al 2019;Cao et al 2020a,b), quasar angular size measurements that reach to ∼ 2.7 (Gurvits et al 1999;Chen & Ratra 2003a;Cao et al 2017;Ryan et al 2019;Cao et al 2020a,b), and gamma-ray burst observations that reach to ∼ 8.2 (Lamb & Reichart 2000;Wang et al 2016;Demianski et al 2019;Amati et al 2019;Fana Dirirsa et al 2019;Muccino 2020;Luongo & Muccino 2020;Khadka & Ratra 2020c;Cao et al 2020b). Quasar (QSO) X-ray and UV flux measurements that reach to ∼ 7.5 provide another set of data that probe this intermediate redshift region (Risaliti & Lusso 2015Yang et al 2019;Velten & Gomes 2020;Wei & Melia 2020;Lindner et al 2020;Zheng et al 2020;Mehrabi & Basilakos 2020;Khadka & Ratra 2020a,b;Lusso et al 2020;Rezaei et al 2020;Speri et al 2020).…”

“…Barionic Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs) are another important tool to constrain background cosmology. We follow a procedure similar to [107], using measurements at 10 different redshifts z = 0.106, 0. The relevant length scale in the case of BAOs is the sound horizon at the drag epoch r s (z d ).…”

“…In this paper, we extend the analysis of [105] to test bimetric cosmology against data from Supernovae type 1a (SN1a), Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs) and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). While bimetric theory has been tested against these data sets beforehand [60,64,67,68,106,107], here we directly constrain the physical parameters. We restrict our analysis to all theoretically viable bimetric models with up to three free interaction parameters 4 .…”
