Testing $\Lambda$CDM cosmology in a binned universe: anomalies in the deceleration parameter
Abstract
We study the reconstructed deceleration parameter splitting the data in different redshift bins, fitting both a cosmographic luminosity distance and also assuming a flat CDM model, using the Pantheon+ sample of type Ia supernova data (SNIA). We observe tensions for different redshift and distance indicators if the full sample is used. However, those tensions disappear when the SNIA at are removed. If the data is splitted in 2 hemispheres according to our movement w.r.t CMB, a strange tension appears in one of the samples between particular redshift bins. Finally, considering posterior distribution as Gaussian, general linear model prefers a positive slope for across redshift bins opposed to a zero slope expected in a CDM universe. We discuss possible explanations for our results and the influence of lowest redshift SNIA data in cosmological analysis.
