We decompose Pantheon+ Type Ia supernovae (SN) in hemispheres on the sky finding angular variations up to $4$ km/s/Mpc in the Hubble constant $H_0$ both in the SH0ES redshift range $0.0233 < z < 0.15$ and in extended redshift ranges. The…

Using $\Lambda$CDM and Pad\'e-(2,1) cosmography, we study directional variations in the Hubble constant, $H_0$, using galaxy cluster and Type Ia Supernovae (from Pantheon Plus) by the hemisphere decomposition method. Since there is a…

A spherical cosmological model with a local void on scales of $\sim 200$ Mpc and with an inhomogeneous Hubble constant was proposed in recent two papers. This model explains consistently the observed properties of the cosmic bulk flow, the…

We present an improved measurement of the Hubble constant (H_0) using the 'inverse distance ladder' method, which adds the information from 207 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) at redshift 0.018 < z < 0.85 to…

We discuss how Type Ia supernovae (SNe) strongly magnified by foreground galaxy clusters should be self-consistently treated when used in samples fitted for the cosmological parameters. While the cluster lens magnification of a SN can be…
