Observations of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) have provided key evidence for the accelerated expansion of the universe. However, analyses of the Pantheon+ dataset reveal anisotropies–specifically, a dipolar anisotropy in the Hubble parameter and a scale-dependent dipolar anisotropy in the deceleration parameter. Notably, the dipolar anisotropy in the deceleration parameter is consistent with general relativistic predictions for the effects of a bulk flow surrounding the observer, offering an alternative explanation to dark energy for the observed cosmic acceleration.

摘要

Observations of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) have provided key evidence for the accelerated expansion of the universe. However, analyses of the Pantheon+ dataset reveal anisotropies–specifically, a dipolar anisotropy in the Hubble parameter and a scale-dependent dipolar anisotropy in the deceleration parameter. Notably, the dipolar anisotropy in the deceleration parameter is consistent with general relativistic predictions for the effects of a bulk flow surrounding the observer, offering an alternative explanation to dark energy for the observed cosmic acceleration.
