The tension on the cosmological parameters from different observational data
Abstract
Planck measurements of the cosmic microwave background power spectra find a lower value of the Hubble constant H0 and a higher value of the fractional matter energy density m0 for the concordance model, and these results are in tension with other measurements. The Planck group argued that the tension came either from some sources of unknown systematic errors in some astrophysical measurements or the wrong model applied in fitting the data. We studied the reason for the tension on H0 from different measurements by considering two dynamical dark energy models. We found that there is no tension between different data, the constraint on H0 is almost unchanged for different dark energy models and the tension with the local measurements remains when the error bar on H0 is tightened to be around 1. We argue that the tension on H0 is not caused by the fitting model.
