Abstract

We revisit for 714 SNeIa the discrepancy between the red-shift associated to the distance modulus μ\mu and the spectroscopic red-shift. Previous work has shown that the total red-shift zz might be a combination of the expansion red-shift zCz_{\rm C} and of a static, blue or red shift zLSV(r)z_{\rm LSV}(r), rr being the comoving distance. The latter is due to the energy non-conservation of the photon propagating through Electro-Magnetic (EM) background fields (host galaxy, intergalactic and Milky Way), under Lorentz(-Poincar\'e) Symmetry Violation (LSV), associated to the Standard-Model Extension (SME). The non-conservation stems from the vacuum expectation value of the vector and tensor LSV fields. For zero radiation Ωrad\Omega_{\rm rad} and curvature Ωk\Omega_{\rm k} densities, and matter density Ωm=0.28\Omega_m = 0.28, the SN1a positions in the (μ\mu, z) plan are recovered according to the different strengths, orientations, alignments and space-time dependencies of the EM fields and LSV components. The LSV vacuum energy may be thus tantamount to ΩΛ0.7\Omega_\Lambda \simeq 0.7, but unrelated to an accelerated expansion. We present models with red or blue-shifts zLSVz_{\rm LSV}, below 10%10\% of zz. The ν\nu frequency variation is below 1019Δν/ν10^{-19} \Delta \nu/\nu per m.
