Cosmological observables could be used to construct cosmological models, however, a fixed number of observables limited on the light cone is not enough to uniquely determine a certain model. A reconstructed spherically symmetric, inhomogeneous model that share the same angular-diameter-distance-redshift relationship $d_A(z)$ and Hubble parameter $H(z)$ besides $Lambdatextrm{CDM}$ model (which we call LTB-$Lambdatextrm{CDM}$ model in this paper), may provide another solution. Cosmic age, which is off the light cone, could be employed to distinguish these two models. We derive the formulae for age calculation with origin conditions. From the data given by 9-year WMAP measurement, we compute the likelihood of the parameters in these two models respectively by using the Distance Prior method and do likelihood analysis by generating Monte Carlo Markov Chain for the purpose of breaking the degeneracy of $Omega_m$ and $H_0$ (the parameters that we use for calculation). The results yield to be: $t_{Lambdatextrm{CDM}} =13.76 pm 0.09 ~rm Gyr$, $t_{rm {LTB}-Lambdatextrm{CDM}} =11.38 pm 0.15 ~rm Gyr$, both in $1sigma$ agreement with the constraint of cosmic age given by metal-deficient stars. The cosmic age method that is set in this paper enables us to distinguish between the inhomogeneous model and $Lambdatextrm{CDM}$ model.

Inspired by the recent conjecture that the universe has transitioned from AdS vacua to dS vacua in the late universe made via graduated dark energy, we extend the $Lambda$CDM model by a cosmological `constant ($Lambda_{rm s}$) that switches sign at c ertain redshift, $z_dagger$, and name it as $Lambda_{rm s}$CDM. We discuss the construction and theoretical features of this model, and find out that, when the consistency of $Lambda_{rm s}$CDM with the CMB data is ensured, (i) $z_daggergtrsim1.1$ is implied by the condition that the universe monotonically expands, (ii) $H_0$ is inversely correlated with $z_dagger$ and reaches $approx74.5~{rm km, s^{-1}, Mpc^{-1}}$ for $z_dagger=1.5$, (iii) $H(z)$ presents an excellent fit to the Ly-$alpha$ measurements provided that $z_daggerlesssim 2.34$. We further investigate the model constraints by using the full Planck CMB data, with and without BAO data. We find that the CMB data alone does not constrain $z_dagger$ but CMB+BAO dataset favors the sign switch of $Lambda_{rm s}$ providing the constraint: $z_dagger=2.44pm0.29$ (68% CL). Our analysis reveals that the lower and upper limits of $z_dagger$ are controlled by the Galaxy and Ly-$alpha$ BAO measurements, respectively, and the larger $z_{dagger}$ values imposed by the Galaxy BAO data prevent the model from achieving the highest local $H_0$ measurements. In general, $Lambda_{rm s}$CDM (i) relaxes the $H_0$ tension while being fully consistent with the TRGB measurement, (ii) removes the discrepancy with the Ly-$alpha$ measurements, (iii) relaxes the $S_8$ tension, and (iv) finds a better agreement with the BBN constraints of physical baryon density. We find no strong statistical evidence to discriminate between the $Lambda_{rm s}$CDM and $Lambda$CDM models. However, interesting and promising features of $Lambda_{rm s}$CDM provide an upper edge over $Lambda$CDM.
In this work we discuss a general approach for the dissipative dark matter considering a nonextensive bulk viscosity and taking into account the role of generalized Friedmann equations. This generalized $Lambda$CDM model encompasses a flat universe w ith a dissipative nonextensive viscous dark matter component, following the Eckart theory of bulk viscosity. In order to compare models and constrain cosmological parameters, we perform Bayesian analysis using one of the most recent observations of Type Ia Supernova, baryon acoustic oscillations, and cosmic microwave background data.

We combine model-independent reconstructions of the expansion history from the latest Pantheon supernovae distance modulus compilation and measurements from baryon acoustic oscillation to test some important aspects of the concordance model of cosmol ogy namely the FLRW metric and flatness of spatial curvature. We then use the reconstructed expansion histories to fit growth measurement from redshift-space distortion and obtain strong constraints on $(Omega_mathrm{m},gamma,sigma_8)$ in a model independent manner. Our results show consistency with a spatially flat FLRW Universe with general relativity to govern the perturbation in the structure formation and the cosmological constant as dark energy. However, we can also see some hints of tension among different observations within the context of the concordance model related to high redshift observations ($z > 1$) of the expansion history. This supports earlier findings of Sahni et al. (2014) & Zhao et al. (2017) and highlights the importance of precise measurement of expansion history and growth of structure at high redshifts.
We study the statistics of various large-scale structure tracers in gravity-only cosmological simulations including baryons and cold dark matter (CDM) initialized with two different transfer functions, and simulated as two distinct fluids. This allow s us to study the impact of baryon-CDM relative perturbations on these statistics. In particular, we focus on the statistics of cosmic voids, as well as on the matter and halo real-space 2-point correlation function and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) peak. We find that the void size function is affected at the 1-2% level at maximum, and that the impact is more important at higher redshift, while the void density profile and void bias are roughly unaffected. We do not detect a sizeable impact of relative baryon-CDM perturbations on the real-space correlation functions of matter and halos or the BAO peak, which is in line with results from previous works. Our results imply that it would be hard to use voids or real-space correlation functions to constrain baryon-CDM relative perturbations, but also that we might not have to include them in models for the analysis of future cosmological surveys data.
We have combined the semi-analytic galaxy formation model of Guo et al. (2011) with the particle-tagging technique of Cooper et al. (2010) to predict galaxy surface brightness profiles in a representative sample of ~1900 massive dark matter haloes (1 0^12--10^14 M_sol) from the Millennium II Lambda-CDM N-body simulation. Here we present our method and basic results focusing on the outer regions of galaxies, consisting of stars accreted in mergers. These simulations cover scales from the stellar haloes of Milky Way-like galaxies to the cD envelopes of groups and clusters, and resolve low surface brightness substructure such as tidal streams. We find that the surface density of accreted stellar mass around the central galaxies of dark matter haloes is well described by a Sersic profile, the radial scale and amplitude of which vary systematically with halo mass (M_200). The total stellar mass surface density profile breaks at the radius where accreted stars start to dominate over stars formed in the galaxy itself. This break disappears with increasing M_200 because accreted stars contribute more of the total mass of galaxies, and is less distinct when the same galaxies are averaged in bins of stellar mass, because of scatter in the relation between M_star and M_200. To test our model we have derived average stellar mass surface density profiles for massive galaxies at z~0.08 by stacking SDSS images. Our model agrees well with these stacked profiles and with other data from the literature, and makes predictions that can be more rigorously tested by future surveys that extend the analysis of the outer structure of galaxies to fainter isophotes. We conclude that it is likely that the outer structure of the spheroidal components of galaxies is largely determined by collisionless merging during their hierarchical assembly
