We examine the prospects for measurement of the Hubble parameter $H_0$ via observation of the secular parallax of other galaxies due to our own motion relative to the cosmic microwave background rest frame. Peculiar velocities make distance measurements to individual galaxies highly uncertain, but a survey sampling many galaxies can still yield a precise $H_0$ measurement. We use both a Fisher information formalism and simulations to forecast errors in $H_0$ from such surveys, marginalizing over the unknown peculiar velocities. The optimum survey observes $sim 10^2$ galaxies within a redshift $z_mathrm{max}=0.05$. The required errors on proper motion are comparable to those that can be achieved by Gaia and future astrometric instruments. A measurement of $H_0$ via parallax has the potential to shed light on the tension between different measurements of $H_0$.

We analyse the H0-tension problem in the context of models of the early universe that predict a blue tilted spectrum of primordial gravitational waves (GWs). By considering the GWs contribution, Neff^GW, to the effective number of relativistic degree s of freedom, Neff, and assuming standard particle physics, we discuss the effects of Neff^GW on the background expansion, especially the constraints on the Hubble parameter H0. We analyse three scenarios which take into account the contribution of Neff^GW and perform a statistical study using recent data of cosmic microwave background, baryon acoustic oscillation, the latest measurement of the local expansion rate, along with the LIGO constraints on the tensor to scalar ratio and the tensor index. For the models explored, we show that an additional contribution from the primordial GWs background to Neff does not solve but alleviate the current H0-tension problem.
The detection of a time variation of the angle between two distant sources would reveal an anisotropic expansion of the Universe. We study this effect of cosmic parallax within the ellipsoidal universe model, namely a particular homogeneous anisotrop ic cosmological model of Bianchi type I, whose attractive feature is the potentiality to account for the observed lack of power of the large-scale cosmic microwave background anisotropy. The preferred direction in the sky, singled out by the axis of symmetry inherent to planar symmetry of ellipsoidal universe, could in principle be constrained by future cosmic parallax data. However, that will be a real possibility if and when the experimental accuracy will be enhanced at least by two orders of magnitude.
The recently published analytic probability density function for the mildly non-linear cosmic density field within spherical cells is used to build a simple but accurate maximum likelihood estimate for the redshift evolution of the variance of the de nsity, which, as expected, is shown to have smaller relative error than the sample variance. This estimator provides a competitive probe for the equation of state of dark energy, reaching a few percent accuracy on wp and wa for a Euclid-like survey. The corresponding likelihood function can take into account the configuration of the cells via their relative separations. A code to compute one-cell density probability density functions for arbitrary initial power spectrum, top-hat smoothing and various spherical collapse dynamics is made available online so as to provide straightforward means of testing the effect of alternative dark energy models and initial power-spectra on the low-redshift matter distribution.
We present a revised measurement of the optical extragalactic background light (EBL), based on the contribution of resolved galaxies to the integrated galaxy light (IGL). The cosmic optical background radiation (COB), encodes the light generated by s tar-formation, and provides a wealth of information about the cosmic star formation history (CSFH). We combine wide and deep galaxy number counts from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey (GAMA) and Deep Extragalactic VIsible Legacy Survey (DEVILS), along with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) archive and other deep survey datasets, in 9 multi-wavelength filters to measure the COB in the range from 0.35 micron to 2.2 micron. We derive the luminosity density in each band independently and show good agreement with recent and complementary estimates of the optical-EBL from very high-energy (VHE) experiments. Our error analysis suggests that the IGL and Gamma-ray measurements are now fully consistent to within ~10%, suggesting little need for any additional source of diffuse light beyond the known galaxy population. We use our revised IGL measurements to constrain the cosmic star-formation history, and place amplitude constraints on a number of recent estimates. As a consistency check, we can now demonstrate convincingly, that the CSFH, stellar mass growth, and the optical-EBL provide a fully consistent picture of galaxy evolution. We conclude that the peak of star-formation rate lies in the range 0.066-0.076 Msol/yr/Mpc^3 at a lookback time of 9.1 to 10.9 Gyrs.
Baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) at low redshift provide a precise and largely model-independent way to measure the Hubble constant, H0. The 6dF Galaxy Survey measurement of the BAO scale gives a value of H0 = 67 +/- 3.2 km/s/Mpc, achieving a 1-sig ma precision of 5%. With improved analysis techniques, the planned WALLABY (HI) and TAIPAN (optical) redshift surveys are predicted to measure H0 to 1-3% precision.
