Estimates of the Hubble constant, H-0, from the local distance ladder and from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) are discrepant at the similar to 3 sigma level, indicating a potential issue wit ...

Cosmology Intertwined II: The Hubble Constant Tension (2020, unknown): “[200] S.”
Early Dark Energy can Resolve the Hubble Tension. (2018, background): “This discrepancy is not easily explained by any obvious systematic effect in either measurement [7–10], and so increasing attention is focusing on the possibility that this “Hubble tension” may be indicating new physics beyond the standard ΛCDM cosmological model [11, 12].”
The Hubble Tension and Early Dark Energy (2022, unknown): “This result has passed a wide range of null tests and has been replicated from the published Cepheid photometry (33, 34) and the Cepheid photometry has been replicated independently (35).”
A buyer’s guide to the Hubble constant (2021, methodology): “Re-analyses of the results of R16 by various authors (Feeney et al. 2018; Cardona et al. 2017; Zhang et al. 2017; Follin and Knox 2018; Dhawan et al. 2018) use the same Cepheid photometric reduction data so are not independent as such.”
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: A Precise H0 Estimate from DES Y1, BAO, and D/H Data (2017, result): “Our DES+BAO+BBN analysis is also qualitatively similar to the inverse distance-ladder approach presented in Aubourg et al. (2015), though the underlying motivation for the analysis is rather different (an updated analysis was recently presented in Feeney et al. 2018).”
New physics in light of the H0 tension: An alternative view (2019, result): “[44] S.”
Nonminimal dark sector physics and cosmological tensions (2019, unknown): “[29] S.”
Dark Energy in Light of Multi-Messenger Gravitational-Wave Astronomy (2018, background): “Reanalysis of the local distance ladder with more sophisticated statistical techniques tend to agree on the high value, although with somewhat larger error bars (Cardona et al., 2017; Feeney et al., 2018a).”
Sounds Discordant: Classical Distance Ladder and ΛCDM-based Determinations of the Cosmological Sound Horizon (2018, result): “A number of independent analyses of the data have served to largely confirm the conclusions of R18 (Efstathiou et al. 2014; Cardona et al. 2017; Zhang et al. 2017; Feeney et al. 2018; Follin & Knox 2018).”
