Description

There have been several studies investigating the cosmological implications of the Hubble tension, both in terms of the impact on early and late universe physics. I will summarise some of our previous work on investigating late-time solution with the first simultaneous analysis of local and high-redshift Type Ia supernovae and exploring a wide range of exotic cosmological solutions. In this talk, I will then explore the impact of testing the distance duality relation - the relaiton between angular diameter and luminosity distances - on the Hubble tension. In our analyses we explore the impact of different data assumptions in the Type Ia supernova, baryon acoustic oscillation samples and explore the relation of the distance duality parameter to dark energy properties. Finally, I will summarise our findings on interpreting the results in terms of intergalactic dust properties.
