Abstract

We analyze how predictions of cosmological models depend on a choice of described observational data, restrictions on flatness, and how this choice can alleviate the H0H_0 tension. These effects are demonstrated in the wwCDM model in comparison with the standard Λ\LambdaCDM model. We describe the Pantheon sample observations of Type Ia supernovae, 31 Hubble parameter data points H(z)H(z) from cosmic chronometers, the extended sample with 57 H(z)H(z) data points and observational manifestations of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). For the wwCDM and Λ\LambdaCDM models in the flat case and with spatial curvature we calculate χ2\chi^2 functions for all observed data in different combinations, estimate optimal values of model parameters and their expected intervals. For both considered models the results essentially depend on a choice of data sets. In particular, for the wwCDM model with H(z)H(z) data, supernovae and CMB the 1σ1\sigma estimations may vary from H0=67.520.95+0.96H_0=67.52^{+0.96}_{-0.95} km\,/(s\cdotMpc) (for all NH=57N_H=57 Hubble parameter data points) up to H0=70.871.62+1.63H_0=70.87^{+1.63}_{-1.62} km\,/(s\cdotMpc) for the flat case (k=0k=0) and NH=31N_H=31. These results might be a hint how to alleviate the problem of H0H_0 tension: different estimates of the Hubble constant may be connected with filters and a choice of observational data.
