The consequences of using a smooth cosmic distance in a lumpy universe: I
How do we appropriately fit a model based on an idealised Friedmann-Lemaıtre Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime to observations made from a single location in a lumpy Universe? We address this question for surveys that measure the imprints of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) in galaxy distribution and the peak apparent magnitude of the type 1A supernova …
