Effect of peak absolute magnitude of Type Ia supernovae and sound horizon values on the Hubble constant using DESI Data Release 1 results

Abstract We apply data-motivated priors on the peak absolute magnitude of Type Ia supernovae (M) and the sound horizon at the drag epoch ( $$r_d$$ r d ), to study how the $$ M-r_d$$ M - r d degeneracy affects low redshift measurements of the Hubble constant, and then compare these estimates to the P...

description Abstract We apply data-motivated priors on the peak absolute magnitude of Type Ia supernovae (M) and the sound horizon at the drag epoch ( $$r_d$$ r d ), to study how the $$ M-r_d$$ M - r d degeneracy affects low redshift measurements of the Hubble constant, and then compare these estimates to the Planck estimated value of the Hubble constant. We use the data from Pantheon $$+$$ + , Cosmic Chronometers, and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Data Release 1 (DESI DR1) Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) results for this purpose. We reaffirm the fact that there is a degeneracy between M and $$r_d$$ r d , and modifying the $$r_d$$ r d values to reconcile the discrepancy in Hubble constant values also requires a change in the peak absolute magnitude M. For certain M and $$r_d$$ r d priors, the discrepancy is found to reduce to be as low as (1.2–2) $$\sigma $$ σ when considering the spatially flat $$\Lambda $$ Λ CDM model. We also notice that for our datasets considered, the Gaussian prior combination of $$M \in \mathcal {N} (-\,19.253,0.027)$$ M ∈ N ( - 19.253 , 0.027 ) (obtained from SH0ES) and $$r_d \in \mathcal {N} (147.05,0.3)$$ r d ∈ N ( 147.05 , 0.3 ) Mpc (determined from Planck CMB measurements) is least favored as compared to other prior combinations for the $$\Lambda $$ Λ CDM model.
