The apparent magnitude-redshift data of SNe Ia call for modifications in the standard model energy densities. Under the circumstance that this modification cannot be limited to the addition of a mere cosmological constant, a serious…

We present photometry of 12 recent supernovae (SNe) recovered in a {\it Hubble Space Telescope} Snapshot program, and tie the measurements to earlier ground-based observations, in order to study the late-time evolution of the SNe. Many of…

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 construct a theoretical framework to interpret the Hubble tension by means of a slow-rolling dynamics of a self-interacting scalar field. In particular, we split the Friedmann equation in order to construct a system for the three…

Weighted mean and median statistics techniques are used to combine 23 independent lower redshift, $z<1.04$, Hubble parameter, $H(z)$, measurements and determine binned forms of $H(z)$. When these are combined with 5 higher redshift,…

The Hubble tension is usually expressed as a discrepancy between the low H_0 inferred from Planck CMB data within base \LambdaCDM and the higher value obtained from late-time distance-ladder measurements. This scalar comparison compresses…
