Abstract

We use updated Hubble parameter and baryon acoustic oscillation data, as well as other lower-redshift Type Ia supernova, Mg II reverberation-measured quasar, quasar angular size, H II starburst galaxy, and Amati-correlated gamma-ray burst data, to jointly constrain cosmological parameters in six cosmological models. The joint analysis provides model-independent determinations of the Hubble constant, H0=69.7±1.2H_0=69.7\pm1.2 km s1 Mpc1\rm{km \ s^{-1} \ Mpc^{-1}}, and the current non-relativistic matter density parameter, Ωm0=0.295±0.017\Omega_{m0}=0.295\pm0.017. These error bars are factors of 2.2 and 2.3 larger than the corresponding error bars in the flat Λ\LambdaCDM model from Planck TT,TE,EE+lowE+lensing cosmic microwave background anisotropy data. Based on the deviance information criterion (DIC), the flat Λ\LambdaCDM model is most favored but mild dark energy dynamics and a little spatial curvature are not ruled out.
