Overview ▶context: FLRW interpretation of data is over restrictive ▶aim: infer cosmological line element @few 100 Mpc with many fewer assumptions ▶method: –theory: “quiet universe” assumption – Heinesen & Macpherson 2022 ArXiv:2111.14423 –data: Rubin–LSST + spectro followup 4MOST + DESI
Assumptions – details ▶Lorentzian spacetime –∀xtangent @x= Minkowski spacetime ▶geometrical optics ▶Etherington’s reciprocity theorem — dL= (1 + z)2dA ▶congruence of light paths from emitters to observer ▶negligible caustics ▶convergence of dLin z ⇒roughly speaking, not too far from FLRW for z≪1
Cosmographic parameters ▶observational aim: determine Ho,Qo,Ro,Jo from SNe Ia ▶dL=d(1) Lz+d(2) Lz2+d(3) Lz3+O(z4) where d(1) L=f(Ho), d(2) L=f(Ho,Qo), d(3) L=f(Ho,Qo,Ro,Jo) –variation over sky – dipoles, quadrupoles
Cosmographic predictions (HM2022) ▶Hodipole = 0 ▶Qodipole: 1 qµ∝Dµθ∝Dµρ– aligned with matter spatial-gradient •(Ro– fully dependent on Ho,Qo,Jo) ▶Jodipole: 1 jµ∝Dµθ∝Dµρ– aligned with Qo dipole and matter spatial-gradient
Analysis aim ▶find best fit monopoles, dipoles and quadrupoles of Ho,Qo,Ro,Join dL(z) relation ▶cf Dhawan+2022 ▶Pantheon + JLA ▶no significant dipole, quadrupole detected in Ho, Qoin CMB frame after accounting for peculiar velocities

Caveats ▶how much will non-uniform, non-4πsky coverage bias the results? ▶can the full selection functions (sky →Rubin →redshifts) be modelled accurately?
