We test the isotropy of the local Universe using low redshift supernova data from various catalogs and the non-parametric method of smoothed residuals. Using a recently developed catalog which combines supernova data from various surveys,…

Observations reveal a `bulk flow' in the local Universe which is faster and extends to much larger scales than is expected around a typical observer in the standard $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. This is expected to result in a scale-dependent…

Redshift-space clustering distortions provide one of the most powerful probes to test the gravity theory on the largest cosmological scales. We perform a systematic validation study of the state-of-the-art statistical methods currently used…

We probe the possible anisotropy of the Universe by using the JLA compilation of type-Ia supernovae. We apply the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method to constrain the amplitude and direction of anisotropy in three cosmological models.…

The cosmological principle asserts that the Universe looks spatially homogeneous and isotropic on sufficiently large scales. Given the fundamental implications of the cosmological principle, it is important to empirically test its validity…

The question of the transition to global isotropy from our anisotropic local Universe is studied using the Union 2 catalogue of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). We construct a "residual" statistic sensitive to systematic shifts in their…

We employ the sample of 244 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs; i.e., C244) with the Combo correlation to test cosmic anisotropy. Meanwhile, the Pantheon sample is introduced to verify whether the GRB sample can suppress the fake anisotropic signals…

Modern cosmology rests on the cosmological principle, that on large enough scales the Universe is both homogeneous and isotropic. A corollary is that galaxies' spin vectors should be isotropically distributed on the sky. This has been…

We investigate the validity of the Cosmological Principle by constraining the cosmological parameters $H_0$ and $q_0$ through the celestial sphere. Our analyses are performed in a low-redshift regime in order to follow a model independent…

We analyse the clustering of cosmic large scale structure using a consistent modified gravity perturbation theory, accounting for anisotropic effects along and transverse to the line of sight. The growth factor has a particular scale…

If the Universe is endowed with cosmic anisotropy, it will have a preferred direction of expansion. Reconstructing the expansion history by Gaussian Process (GP) can be used to probe the cosmic anisotropy model-independently. In this paper,…
