Abstract
We extend the construction of upsilon-type invariants to null-homologous knots in rational homology three-spheres. By considering -fold cyclic branched covers with a prime power, this extension provides new knot concordance invariants of knots in . We give computations of these invariants for some families of alternating knots and reprove some independence results in the smooth concordance group.
