In this paper, I revoke a debate about an origin of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) dimming. I argue that except for a commonly accepted accelerating expansion of the Universe, a conceivable alternative for explaining this observation is universe…
Theoretical and observational cosmology have enjoyed a number of significant successes over the last two decades. Cosmic microwave background measurements from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe and Planck, together with large-scale…
Recent measurements of the parameters of the Concordance Cosmology Model ($\Lambda$CDM) done in the low-redshift Universe with Supernovae Ia/Cepheids, and in the distant Universe done with Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) imply different…
The accelerating expansion of the universe is one of the most profound discoveries in modern cosmology, pointing to a universe in which 70% of the mass-energy density has an unknown form spread uniformly across the universe. This result has…
By relaxing the constraint of adiabatic universe used in most cosmological models, we have shown that the new approach provides a better fit to the supernovae Ia redshift data with a single parameter, the Hubble constant $H_0$, than the…
The most exciting future observation in cosmology will feature a monitoring of the cosmic expansion in real time, unlike anything that has ever been attempted before. This campaign will uncover crucial physical properties of the various…
A recently proposed Asymptotically Safe cosmology provides an elegant mechanism towards understanding the nature of dark energy and its associated cosmic coincidence problem. The underlying idea is that the accelerated expansion of the…
We review the use of Type Ia supernovae for cosmological distance determinations. Low-redshift SNe Ia (z < 0.1) demonstrate that (a) the Hubble expansion is linear, (b) H_0 = 65 +/- 2 (statistical) km/s/Mpc, (c) the bulk motion of the Local…
Over twenty years ago, Type Ia Supernovae (SNIa) observations revealed an accelerating Universe expansion, suggesting a significant dark energy presence, often modelled as a cosmological constant, \( \Lambda \). Despite its pivotal role in…
An alternative model describing the dynamics of a flat Universe without cosmological constant and allowing a gradual change of c with time is proposed. New relationships of redshift vs. distance and cosmic background radiation temperature…
The expansion of the Universe is accelerating which can be interpreted as due to the cosmological constant $\Lambda$. In this study, we investigate the behavior of gravitational waves in the presence of a cosmological constant in the early…
The detection of a significant deviation from a zero curvature would have profound consequences for inflationary theories and fundamental physics. Relative to high-redshift Planck's CMB measurements, indicating a $\sim 2\sigma$ evidence for…
The recent astronomical measurements of distant supernovae as well as other observations indicate that our universe is presently accelerating. There are different proposals for the explanation of this acceleration, such as the cosmological…
We study how future Type-Ia supernovae (SNIa) standard candles detected by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory (LSST) can constrain some cosmological models. We use a realistic three-year SNIa simulated dataset generated by the LSST Dark Energy…
Recent observations of Type Ia SNe at redshifts 0 < z <1 reveal a progressive dimming which has been interpreted as evidence for a cosmological constant of Omega_Lambda ~ 0.7. An alternative explanation of the SN results is an open universe…
We probe the recent cosmic expansion by directly reconstructing the deceleration parameter $q(z)$ at recent times with a linear expansion at $z=0$ using the low redshift SNIa and BAO data. Our results show that the observations seem to…
The discovery of dark energy by the first generation of high-redshift supernova surveys has generated enormous interest beyond cosmology and has dramatic implications for fundamental physics. Distance measurements using supernova explosions…
We consider the possibility that the dark sector of our Universe contains a negative cosmological constant dubbed $\lambda$. For such models to be viable, the dark sector should contain an additional component responsible for the late-time…
The paradigm of \Lambda CDM cosmology works impressively well and with the concept of inflation it explains the universe after the time of decoupling. However there are still a few concerns; after much effort there is no detection of dark…
Equations of cosmic dynamics for a model of the opaque Universe are derived and tested on supernovae (SNe) Ia observations. The model predicts a cyclic expansion/contraction evolution of the Universe within a limited range of scale factors.…
