Formulae for the line-of-sight and transverse comoving distances, proper motion distance, angular diameter distance, luminosity distance, k-correction, distance modulus, comoving volume, lookback time, age, and object intersection probability are all given, some with justifications. Some attempt is made to rationalize disparate terminologies, or at least abuse bad usage.

  1. From DES to KiDS: Domain adaptation for cross-survey detection of low-surface-brightness galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Domain adaptation with an ensemble of CNN and transformer models trained on DES detects 20,180 LSBGs and 434 UDGs in KiDS DR5, with structural parameters and environmental trends consistent with known samples.

  2. Model-independent test of the cosmic distance duality relation with recent observational data

    astro-ph.CO 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    Two model-independent methods applied to latest SN and BAO data find the cosmic distance duality relation consistent with observations within 1 sigma and no evidence of violation.

  3. The Pantheon+ Analysis: Cosmological Constraints

    astro-ph.CO 2022-02 accept novelty 6.0

    Pantheon+ delivers tighter SN Ia constraints on Ω_M, w0, wa, and H0 from 1550 events, consistent with a cosmological constant, with SN systematics contributing less than one third to H0 uncertainty.

  4. Improving the full spectrum fitting method: accurate convolution with Gauss-Hermite functions

    astro-ph.GA 2016-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Improved pPXF uses analytic Fourier transforms of Gauss-Hermite functions for accurate convolution, providing reliable velocities even when σ is much less than the sampling ΔV.

  5. From Scalar $H_0$ to $E(z)$: A Reformulation of the Hubble Tension

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Re-expressing the Hubble tension via posterior-implied E(z) histories yields moderate mismatches (S_hist of 1.65 and 2.55) that correspond to only 1.1-2.1 sigma equivalents, below the usual 4.9 sigma scalar-H0 discrepancy.

  6. Revisiting the angular size-redshift cosmological test with milliarcsecond radio structures in active galactic nuclei

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A tenfold larger sample of AGN radio source sizes confirms a real angular size-redshift relation but indicates that scatter must drop below 20% or samples reach thousands to 100,000 to constrain Ω_m effectively.

  7. Search for quasar pairs with Gaia astrometric data. II. Photometric redshift prediction with machine learning for the MGQPC catalogue

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 conditional novelty 4.0

    Machine learning models achieve NMAD 0.036 and 5.6% outliers for quasar photometric redshifts, identifying 185 high-probability pair candidates in MGQPC with 20 spectroscopically confirmed as physical pairs.

  8. Breaking Free from the Swampland of Impossible Universes through the DESI Portal

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    DESI data indicating evolving dark energy may allow string theory to describe observed universes without violating swampland constraints on constant dark energy.
