We have shown (Colin et al., 2019) that the acceleration of the Hubble expansion rate inferred from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is, at $3.9\sigma$ significance, a dipole approximately aligned with the CMB dipole, while its monopole…
The observed 21-cm signal from the epoch of reionization will be distorted along the line-of-sight by the peculiar velocities of matter particles. These redshift-space distortions will affect the contrast in the signal and will also make it…
We test the isotropy of the expansion of the Universe by estimating the hemispherical anisotropy of supernova type Ia (SN Ia) Hubble diagrams at low redshifts (z<0.2). We compare the best fit Hubble diagrams in pairs of hemispheres and…
In this paper we study an anisotropic model generated from a particular Bianchi type-III metric, which is a generalization of G\"odel's metric and an exact solution of Einstein's field equations. We analyse type Ia supernova data, namely…

The largest temperature anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the dipole. The simplest interpretation of the dipole is that it is due to our motion with respect to the rest frame of the CMB. As well as creating the $\ell$=1…
Claims of local ($z \lesssim 0.05$) anisotropy in the Hubble constant have been made based on direct distance tracers such as Tully-Fisher galaxies and Type Ia supernovae. We revisit these using the CosmicFlows-4 Tully-Fisher W1 subsample,…
Many observations in recent times have shown evidence against the standard assumption of isotropy in the Big Bang model. Introducing a superhorizon scalar metric perturbation has been able to explain some of these anomalies. In this work,…

Type Ia supernova (SN Ia), galaxy clustering, and cosmic microwave background anisotropy (CMB) data provide complementary constraints on the nature of the dark energy in the universe. We find that the three-year Wilkinson Microwave…
We test the usual hypothesis that the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) dipole, its largest anisotropy, is due to our peculiar velocity with respect to the Hubble flow by measuring independently the Doppler and aberration effects on the CMB…
We are in motion against the cosmic backdrop. This motion is evidenced by the systematic temperature shift - or dipole anisotropy - observed in the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB). Because of the Doppler effect, the temperature…
The largest temperature anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the dipole, which has been measured with increasing accuracy for more than three decades, particularly with the Planck satellite. The simplest interpretation of…
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 test the tenet of statistical isotropy of the standard cosmological model via a homology analysis of the cosmic microwave background temperature maps. Examining small sectors of the normalized maps, we find that the results exhibit a…
A spherical cosmological model with a local void on scales of $\sim 200$ Mpc and with an inhomogeneous Hubble constant was proposed in recent two papers. This model explains consistently the observed properties of the cosmic bulk flow, the…
Separating the components of redshift due to expansion and peculiar motion in the nearby universe ($z<0.1$) is critical for using Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) to measure the Hubble constant ($H_0$) and the equation-of-state parameter of dark…

The expansion center Universe (ECU) gives a dipole anisotropy to the Hubble ratio, at any Hubble depth D. After a long series of successful dipole tests, here is a crucial multiple dipole test at z bins centred on the mean <z>=z0=1, or…
