Impact of H₀ priors on ƒ (T) late time cosmology

Abstract

Abstract We present a detailed analysis of the impact of H₀ priors from recent surveys in the literature on the late time cosmology of five ƒ (T ) cosmological models using cosmic chronometers, the Pantheon data set, and baryonic acoustic oscillation data. In this work, we use three recently reported values of H₀ that have contributed to the recent H₀ tension problem. We find that these priors have a strong response in these analyses in terms of all the cosmological parameters. In general, our analyses give much higher values of H₀ when considered against equivalent analyses without priors while, by and large, giving lower values of the matter density parameter. We close with a cross-analysis of each of our model, data set and prior combination choices.
