Abstract

Understanding the expansion rate history is a primary goal in cosmology. There are various ways to measure the expansion rate at different redshifts and measuring it through the luminosity distance of SNIa is widely used in cosmology. In this work, we split the latest dataset of SNIa (the Pantheon+ sample) into several redshift bins and compute the expansion rate through a non-parametric technique. To do this, we use the Gaussian process to obtain the expansion rate considering data in different redshift bins. For the sake of comparison, we also consider the [Formula: see text]CDM model and find the expansion history through an MCMC analysis. Our results indicate that the degeneracy between free parameters prevents a good constraint using the low redshifts data but this is not the case in the GP scenario. Moreover, we study how high redshift SNIa can affect the current expansion rate and observe that data at [Formula: see text] has almost no impact on the current expansion rate in both approaches.
