Question
Note to moderator: read all acronyms phonetically as ‘holy cow’, ‘shoes’ etc.Baxter and Sherwin proposed a novel method of estimating this quantity from a lensing power spectrum that is independent of the sound horizon. This quantity was estimated using six lenses to 2.4 percent precision by the H0LiCOW project. It’s not Sigma 8, but a 4.4 sigma deviation between the value of this quantity observed by Adam Riess as part of the SH0ES project and the best fit value of this parameter in the (*) lambda-C.D.M. model is known as this value’s ‘tension’. This so-called ‘constant’ equals the derivative of the comic scale parameter with respect to time. This constant is roughly equal to one over the age of the universe. For 10 points, name this constant equal to 68 kilometres per second per megaparsec, a measure of how fast distant galaxies recede, named for an American astronomer. ■END■
