Cosmographic constraints from FRBs

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Late-time astrophysical probes offer a powerful way to investigate the expansion history of the Universe.

Description

Among these probes, fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration astrophysical transients whose extragalactic origin makes them a promising addition to studies of large-scale structure. Their dispersion measures encode information about the intervening cosmic plasma, which can be linked to cosmological distances.

We used late-time probes, such as well-localized FRBs, baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), supernovae (SNe), and cosmic chronometers (CC) to constrain cosmological parameters through a model-independent cosmographic approach. We integrated FRB data with BAOs from Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) DR2, SNe, and CCs to derive constraints on the Hubble constant (H0), the deceleration parameter (q0), and the jerk parameter (j0), using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis for parameter estimation.

The cosmographic approach with FRBs alone provides H0=66.35^+4.13^_-5.04_km/s/Mpc, q0=-0.33_-0.15_^+0.21^, and j0=0.83_-0.67_^0.57^, corresponding to a precision of ~6% for the Hubble constant and showing consistency with the {LAMBDA}CDM expectation. The DESI+CMB dataset yields H0=65.59^+1.25^_-1.24_km/s/Mpc, q0=-0.29_-0.08_^+0.07^, and j0=0.58_-0.04_^+0.03^, providing a ~2% precision on H0 and may suggest a possible tension in the late-time kinematic sector relative to the {LAMBDA}CDM expectation when BAO measurements are calibrated with a Planck-inferred sound horizon.

Combining the FRB, SNe, DESI+CMB, and CC datasets further tightens the constraints to H0=68.03^+0.53^_-0.52_km/s/Mpc, q0=-0.41+/-0.02, and j0=0.55+/-0.02, with the jerk parameter remaining lower than j0=1 at the 1{sigma} confidence level. These findings hint at a possible late-time kinematic tension, as indicated by the inferred value of the jerk parameter, which is primarily driven by the DESI+CMB dataset under standard early-Universe assumptions for the sound horizon.

At the current level of observational precision, FRBs play a complementary role in the cosmographic analysis, with their impact expected to increase as larger and more precise samples of well-localized events become available.
