In this article, we study the expanding nature of universe in the contest of $f(R,L_m)$ gravity theory, here $ R $ represents the Ricci scalar and $ L_m $ is the matter Lagrangian density. With a specific form of $ f(R,L_m) $, we obtain the…
Spatial variations in the distribution of galaxy luminosities, estimated from redshifts as distance proxies, are correlated with the peculiar velocity field. Comparing these variations with the peculiar velocities inferred from galaxy…
We show that the measurement of the baryonic acoustic oscillations in large high redshift galaxy surveys offers a precision route to the measurement of dark energy. The cosmic microwave background provides the scale of the oscillations as a…
