Cosmologies that match in a volume averaged sense need not generally have the same light propagation behaviors. In particular a universe with inhomogeneity may not demonstrate the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker distance-redshift relation even…

Extending the approach developed by Ara\'ujo and Stoeger [1] and improved in Ara\'ujo {\it et al} [2], we have shown how to construct dust-filled $\Lambda \neq 0$ Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmological models from FLRW…

The Hubble constant ${H}_0$ is a crucial parameter in cosmology. However, different cosmic observations have resulted in varying posterior results for ${H}_0$, leading to what is known as the ${H}_0$ tension. In order to address this issue,…

The $\Lambda$CDM model successfully explains the majority of cosmological observations. However, the $\Lambda$CDM model is challenged by Hubble tension, a remarkable difference of Hubble constant $H_0$ between measurements from local probe…
