We use the largest sample to date of spectroscopic supernova (SN) Ia distances and redshifts to look for evidence in the Hubble diagram of large-scale outflows caused by local voids suggested to exist at z < 0.15. Our sample combines data from the Pantheon sample with the Foundation survey, and the most recent release of light curves from the Carnegie Supernova Project, to create a sample of 1295 SNe over a redshift range of 0.01 < z < 2.26. We make use of an inhomogeneous and isotropic…

The discrepancy between the values of the Hubble constant H0 derived from the local distance ladder and the cosmic microwave background provides a tantalizing hint of new physics. We explore a

Local Hole revisited: evidence for bulk motions and self-consistent outflow

We revisit our mapping of the ‘Local Hole’, a large underdensity in the local galaxy redshift distribution that extends out to redshift z ≈ 0.05 and a potential source of outflows that may perturb

A cosmological underdensity does not solve the Hubble tension

A potential solution to the Hubble tension is the hypothesis that the Milky Way is located near the center of a matter underdensity. We model this scenario through the Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi formalism
