Testing LTB void models without the cosmic microwave background or large scale structure: new constraints from galaxy ages
- 1. ICC, University of Barcelona (IEEC-UB), Marti i Franques 1, Barcelona 08028 (Spain)
Description
We present new observational constraints on inhomogeneous models based on observables independent of the CMB and large-scale structure. Using Bayesian evidence we find very strong evidence for the homogeneous LCDM model, thus disfavouring inhomogeneous models. Our new constraints are based on quantities independent of the growth of perturbations and rely on cosmic clocks based on atomic physics and on the local density of matter
