Cosmography represents an important branch of cosmology which aims to describe the universe without the need of postulating \emph{a priori} any particular cosmological model. All quantities of interest are expanded as a Taylor series around…

Given the persistence of various tensions in the "Cosmic Concordance" -- such as the "Hubble Tension", and possible departures from LambdaCDM time evolution -- seen from combinations of complementary data sets (e.g., Cosmic Microwave…

Recently, several statistically significant tensions between different cosmological datasets have raised doubts about the standard Lambda cold dark matter ($\Lambda$CDM) model. A recent letter~\citet{Huang:2020mub} suggests to use…

With the use of simulated supernova catalogs, we show that the statefinder parameters turn out to be poorly and biased estimated by standard cosmography. To this end, we compute their standard deviations and several bias statistics on…

Pad\'e approximants to truncated post-Newtonian neutron star models are constructed. The Pad\'e models converge faster to the general relativistic (GR) solution than the truncated post-Newtonian ones. The evolution of initial data using the…

We present a cosmographic study designed to test the simplest type of accelerating cosmology: a flat universe with matter and a cosmological constant ($\Lambda$). Hubble series expansions are fit to the SCP Union2.1 supernova data set to…

In this work, we have considered a model independent approach to study the nature of the late time cosmic acceleration. We have used the Pade approximation to parametrize the comoving distance. Consequently, from this comoving distance, we…

We use cosmography to present constraints on the kinematics of the Universe, without postulating any underlying theoretical model. To this end, we use a Monte Carlo Markov Chain analysis to perform comparisons to the supernova Ia Union 2…

Cosmography is a powerful tool to investigate the Universe kinematic and then to reconstruct dynamics in a model-independent way. However, recent new measurements of supernovae Ia and quasars have populated the Hubble diagram up to high…

We present a novel method for calculating Pad\'e approximants that is capable of eliminating spurious poles placed at the point of development and of identifying and eliminating spurious poles created by precision limitations and/or noisy…

The suggestion that we occupy a privileged position near the centre of a large, nonlinear, and nearly spherical void has recently attracted much attention as an alternative to dark energy. Putting aside the philosophical problems with this…

The cosmic distance duality relates the angular-diameter and luminosity distances and its possible violation may puzzle the standard cosmological model. This appears particularly interesting in view of the recent results found by the DESI…
