Journal ArticleDOI
Cosmic variance and the measurement of the local Hubble parameter
TL;DR: It is shown that one would need a very rare fluctuation to fully explain the offset in the Hubble rates, and if this tension is further strengthened, a cosmology beyond the Standard Model may prove necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing the Void against Cosmological data: fitting CMB, BAO, SN and H0
TL;DR: In this paper, a large Gpc scale under-dense region (Void) is modeled by a Lema?tre-Tolman-Bondi metric that at large distances becomes a homogeneous FLRW metric.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing the Copernican principle by constraining spatial homogeneity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a new measure to quantify violations of the Copernican principle, which is used to quantify radial inhomogeneity in a dark-energy dominated universe.
