Abstract
MB is the Supernova absolute magnitude. Ref. [1] isolates the distance ladder dL(z) from the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) and from the Type Ia supernova data to determine MB. The degeneracy between the absolute magnitude and the Hubble constant H0 for the supernova data is replaced by a degeneracy between MB and the sound horizon rd. Since the data is for certain redshifts, the Gaussian processes (GP) regression extrapolates the values for the whole redshift range. By canceling the distance ladder, the GP gives MB = −19.25 ± 0.39 as a mean for the full distribution when using the sound horizon from late time measurements. The estimations provide up to 1 σ possibility of a nuisance parameter presence δMB(z) at higher redshifts.
