Tests of whether particular redshift intervals dominate supernova comparisons.

16 execution records · Latest record: 09 Oct 2026

Editorial grouping by research question. Each record preserves its original identifier, priors, method, result and status. Values have not been combined, and a signal in a single run is not a global detection.

16 public runs. Each dot is the key figure published for one run: the cut that most reduced the fit improvement in that configuration of data and priors. The other cuts of each run are not in the snapshot. Runs are not independent measurements, and the percentage is neither a probability nor a significance. Source: Tower public snapshot

Runs and variants

  1. T-0666056105a4Candidate

    Repeat analysis: is the preference for evolving dark energy in Pantheon+ and DES-SN5YR concentrated in one of the ranges z = 0.01–0.3; 0.3–2.3, with the prior Ωm = 0.315 ± 0.007?

    Excluding z = 0.01–0.3 from DES-SN5YR reduced the fit improvement by about 44%, the largest reduction among the exclusions tested. The preference persisted after each range was excluded. The conclusion applies to the compilations, ranges and assumptions examined.
