The data of type Ia supernovae observed by the High-z SN Search Team and Supernova Cosmology Project are analyzed in inhomogeneous cosmological models with a local void on scales of about 200 Mpc, to derive the best-fit values of model…
The $m$-$z$ relation for type Ia supernovae is one of the key pieces of evidence supporting the cosmological `concordance model' with $\lambda_0 \approx 0.7$ and $\Omega_0 \approx 0.3$. However, it is well known that the $m$-$z$ relation…
We examine the constraints that satellite-acquired Type Ia and IIP supernova apparent magnitude versus redshift data will place on cosmological model parameters in models with and without a constant or time-variable cosmological constant…
By modifying the Chen and Wu ansatz, we have investigated some Friedmann models in which $\Lambda$ varies as $\rho$. In order to test the consistency of the models with observations, we study the angular size - redshift relation for 256…
We examine the status of various dark energy-models in light of the recently observed SN 1997ff at z \approx 1.7. The modified data still fit a pure cosmological constant \Lambda or a quintessence with an equation of state similar to that…
The evidence for positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$ from Type Ia supernovae is reexamined. Both high redshift supernova teams are found to underestimate the effects of host galaxy extinction. The evidence for an absolute magnitude-…
Models with a dynamic cosmological term \Lambda (t) are becoming popular as they solve the cosmological constant problem in a natural way. Instead of considering any ad-hoc assumption for the variation of \Lambda, we consider a particular…
In this paper, we explore power law solution of FLRW universe model that is associated with a variable cosmological term $\Lambda(t)$ as a linear function of $\frac{\ddot{a}}{a}, (\frac{\dot{a}}{a})^2$ and $\rho$. The model parameters were…
We analyze how predictions of cosmological models depend on a choice of described observational data, restrictions on flatness, and how this choice can alleviate the $H_0$ tension. These effects are demonstrated in the $w$CDM model in…
We present a cosmographic study designed to test the simplest type of accelerating cosmology: a flat universe with matter and a cosmological constant ($\Lambda$). Hubble series expansions are fit to the SCP Union2.1 supernova data set to…
Gravitational field equations in Randers-Finsler space of approximate Berwald type are investigated. A modified Friedmann equation and a new luminosity distance-redshift relation is proposed. A best-fit to the Type Ia supernovae (SNe)…
A paper by Harmut Traunm\"uller [1] showed from statistical studies of observational data that the most adequate equation to represent observations on magnitude and redshift from 892 type 1a supernovae is $\mu = 5\,log[(1+z)\,ln(1+z)] +…
The plethora of recent cosmologically relevant data has indicated that our universe is very well fit by a standard Friedmann-Lema\^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) model, with $\Omega_{M} \approx 0.27$ and $\Omega_{\Lambda} \approx 0.73$ --…
Cosmological models and their parameters are widely debated, especially about whether the current discrepancy between the values of the Hubble constant, $H_{0}$, obtained by type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), and the Planck data from the Cosmic…
The $m$-$z$ relation for Type Ia supernovae is compatible with the cosmological concordance model if one assumes that the Universe is homogeneous, at least with respect to light propagation. This could be due to the density along each line…
We investigate in detail some popular cosmological models in light of the latest observational data, including the Union2.1 supernovae compilation, the baryon acoustic oscillation measurements from the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey, the cosmic…
The supernovae Ia data are used to analyze two general exact solutions for quintessence models. The best fit values for $\Omega_{m0}$ are smaller than in the $\Lambda $-term model, but still acceptable. With present-day data, it is not…
Recently Perlmutter et al. suggested a positive value of Einstein's cosmological constant Lambda on the basis of luminosity distances from type-Ia supernovae. However, Lambda world models had earlier been proposed by Hoell & Priester and…
The unexpected dimness of Type Ia supernovae at redshifts z >~ 1 has over the past 7 years been seen as an indication that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. A new model cosmology, the "fractal bubble model", has been proposed…
We confront Cardassian models with recent observational data. These models can be viewed either as purely phenomenological modifications of the Friedmann equation, or as arising from cosmic fluids with non-standard properties. In the first…
