We present updated cosmological constraints from measurements of the gas mass fractions ($f_{gas}$) of massive, dynamically relaxed galaxy clusters. Our new data set has greater leverage on models of dark energy, thanks to the addition of…

We use the scaled counts in spherical caps $\mathcal{N}(<\theta)$ and the fractal correlation dimension $ \mathcal{D}_{2}(\theta) $ procedures to search for a transition scale to homogeneity in the local universe as given by the ALFALFA…

The distance ladder using supernovae yields higher values of the Hubble constant $H_0$ than those inferred from measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and galaxy surveys, a discrepancy that has come to be known as the `Hubble…

In this paper, we study the characteristic scale of transition to cosmic homogeneity of the universe, $\mathcal{R}_H$, as a standard ruler, to constrain cosmological parameters on mock galaxy catalogues. We use mock galaxy catalogues that…

An accurate determination of the Hubble constant remains a puzzle in observational cosmology. The possibility of a new physics has emerged with a significant tension between the current expansion rate of our Universe measured from the…

In the realm of the $\omega$CDM cosmological model with quiescence or quintessence as the dark energy, characterized by $\omega>-1$, there exists a fixed value of $H(z)$ at $z=-1$, devoid of dependency on other cosmological parameters. To…

The Hubble constant $H_0$ tension has emerged as the most serious crisis in modern cosmology, potentially indicating that the $\Lambda$CDM model may not describe our universe accurately. In this paper, we establish a new,…

In this work, we obtain Hubble constant ($H_0$) estimates by using two galaxy cluster gas mass fraction measurement samples, Type Ia supernovae luminosity distances, and the validity of the cosmic distance duality relation. Notably, the…

The phantom brane has several important distinctive features: (i) Its equation of state is phantom-like, but there is no future `big rip' singularity, (ii) the effective cosmological constant on the brane is dynamically screened, because of…

We measure the current expansion rate of the Universe, Hubble's constant $H_0$, by calibrating the absolute magnitudes of supernovae to distances measured by Baryon Acoustic Oscillations. This `inverse distance ladder' technique provides an…

We present a determination of the Hubble constant from the joint, free-form analysis of 8 strongly, quadruply lensing systems. In the concordance cosmology, we find $H_0 = 71.8^{+3.9}_{-3.3}\,\mathrm{km}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}\,\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$…
