Several studies in the literature have found a discrepancy between Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) measurements derived from two distinct methodologies, i.e. the two-dimensional (2D, angular) and the three-dimensional (3D, anisotropic) BAO. Since these probes play a key role in building the inverse distance ladder, this inconsistency affects discussions on the Hubble tension and its...

Weak gravitational lensing has flourished into one of the most competitive fields in cosmology, based on two main pillars, namely cosmic shear and galaxy-galaxy lensing. However, there is a third pillar that is usually overlooked as an observable in itself: cosmic magnification, the statistical correlation in the sky between the position of foreground galaxies and the number counts of...

This work uses Lick indices to derive an independent, cosmology-free measurement of the Hubble parameter H(z), focusing on massive, passive galaxies at low redshift (z<0.4) from SDSS Legacy data. Unlike prior studies based on Full Spectral Fitting (FSF) or the D4000 spectral feature, we adopt a novel combined Lick index approach. Two Stellar Population Synthesis models are employed: Thomas,...

Submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) are a population of high-redshift, dust-obscured galaxies with high star-formation rates and a steep number of counts, making them crucial for understanding galaxy formation and evolution. This study investigates the physical properties of 68 candidate gravitationally lensed SMGs at $z>1.2$ from the Herschel-ATLAS catalog, along with their associated lenses at...

Cosmography is a model-independent phenomenological approach to observational cosmology, relying on Taylor series expansions of physical quantities as a function of the cosmological redshift or analogous variables. A recent work [Martins et al. Phys. Lett. B827 (2022) 137002] developed the formalism for a cosmographic analysis of astrophysical and local measurements of the fine-structure...
