CZCong ZhangHZHan ZhangSYShuo Yuan

Key Points

  • This research aims to measure Hubble parameters from luminous red galaxies to understand cosmic expansion.
  • Utilized 17832 luminous red galaxies from SDSS DR7 with redshift ranging from 0 to 0.4.
  • Employed the differential age method and full spectrum fitting with SSP models for analysis.
  • Derived four new observational H(z) data points and combined them with existing data for model constraint.
  • New observational H(z) data points: H(z)=69.0±19.6 at z=0.07, H(z)=68.6±26.2 at z=0.12.
  • H(z)=72.9±29.6 at z=0.2, and H(z)=88.8±36.6 at z=0.28.
  • Improved constraints on both flat and non-flat Lambda CDM models were achieved.

Abstract

By adopting the differential age method, we utilize selected 17832 luminous red galaxies (LRGs) from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release Seven (SDSS DR7) covering redshift 0<z<0. 4 to measure Hubble parameters. Using a full spectrum fitting package UlySS, these spectra are reduced with single stellar population (SSP) models and optimal age information of our selected sample are derived. With the decreasing age-redshift relation, four new observational H (z) data (OHD) points are obtained, which are H (z) =69. 019. 6 km s^-1 Mpc^-1 at z=0. 07, H (z) =68. 626. 2 km s^-1 Mpc^-1 at z=0. 12, H (z) =72. 929. 6 km s^-1 Mpc^-1 at z=0. 2 and H (z) =88. 836. 6 km s^-1 Mpc^-1 at z=0. 28, respectively. Combined with other 21 available OHD data points, a performance of constraint on both flat and non-flat CDM model is presented.
