摘要
The Lambda Cold Dark Matter model (Lambda CDM) represents the current standard model in cosmology. Within this, there is a tension between the value of the Hubble constant, H-0, inferred from local distance indicators and the angular scale of fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). In terms of Bayseian evidence, we investigate whether the tension is significant enough to warrant new physics in the form of modifying or adding energy components to the standard cosmological model. We find that late time dark energy explanations are not favoured by data whereas a pre-CMB decoupling extra dark energy component has a positive, although not substantial, Bayesian evidence. A constant equation of state of the additional early energy density is constrained to 0.086(-0.03)(+0:04). Although this value deviates significantly from 1/3, valid for dark radiation, the latter is favoured based on the Bayesian evidence. If the tension persists, future estimates of H-0 at the 1% level will be able to decisively determine which of the proposed explanations is favoured.
