Abstract

We determine the Hubble constant H 0 precisely (2.3% uncertainty) in a manner independent of the cosmological model through Gaussian process regression, using strong lensing and supernova data. Strong gravitational lensing of a variable source can provide a time-delay distance D Δ t and angular diameter distance to the lens D d. These absolute distances can anchor Type Ia supernovae, which give an excellent constraint on the shape of the distance–redshift relation. Updating our previous results to use the H0LiCOW program’s milestone data set consisting of six lenses, four of which have both D Δ t and D d measurements, we obtain for a flat universe and for a non-flat universe. We carry out several consistency checks on the data and find no statistically significant tensions, though a noticeable redshift dependence persists in a particular systematic manner that we investigate. Speculating on the possibility that this trend of derived Hubble constant with lens distance is physical, we show how this can arise through modified gravity light propagation, which would also impact the weak lensing σ 8 tension.

TDCOSMO results relax assumptions on lens mass density profile, obtain much weaker bounds, and once combined with SLACS shift H0 towards a lower value.
“the latest TDCOSMO results relax the assumptions on the lens mass density profile, obtaining much weaker bounds, and once combined with SLACS, they shift H 0 towards a lower value.”
From Challenges of the Standard Cosmological Model (2022) · cites this paper as [46]
Section 2 discusses H0LiCOW lens distances and lens mass-profile parameters, while Section 3 reports H₀ estimates from those distances. Neither the supplied passages nor searches for TDCOSMO, SLACS, and relaxed mass-profile assumptions address weaker bounds or a lower H₀ after combining with SLACS.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
