Assuming the standard cosmological model as correct, the average linear size of galaxies with the same luminosity is six times smaller at z=3.2 than at z=0, and their average angular size for a given luminosity is approximately proportional…

The empirical correlation between the H$\beta$ luminosity ($L$) and the ionized gas velocity dispersion ($\sigma$) in HII starburst galaxies (HIIGs) provides a foundation for using them as cosmological standard candles. A key unresolved…

We perform a model-independent reconstruction of the cosmic distances using the Multi-Task Gaussian Process (MTGP) framework as well as knot-based spline techniques with DESI-DR2 BAO and DES-SN5YR datasets. We calibrate the comoving sound…

We set out to rederive the 8 Hubble parameter values obtained from estimated relative galaxy ages by Simon et al. [Physical Review D, 71, 123001 (2005)]. We find that to obtain the level of precision claimed in $H(z)$, unrealistically small…

We determine the cosmic expansion rate from supernovae of type Ia to set up a data-based distance measure that does not make assumptions about the constituents of the universe, i.e. about a specific parametrisation of a Friedmann…

Several models based on General Relativity and Modified Gravity aim to reproduce the observed universe with precision comparable to the flat-$\Lambda$CDM cosmological model. In this study, we investigate the consistency of some of these…

The use of Type~Ia SNe has thus far produced the most reliable measurement of the expansion history of the Universe, suggesting that $\Lambda$CDM offers the best explanation for the redshift--luminosity distribution observed in these…
