Title

Fully characterizing axially symmetric Szekeres models with three data sets
Co-authors

Abstract

Inhomogeneous exact solutions of GR with zero cosmological constant have been used in the literature to challenge the $\Lambda$CDM model. From one patch LTB models to axially symmetric quasi-spherical Szekeres (QSS) Swiss-cheese models (see Priti Mishra's talk in the CM2 Session), some of them are able to reproduce to a good accuracy the cosmological data. Mustapha et al. (1997) and Uzan et al. (2008) showed that a zero $\Lambda$ LTB model with a central observer can be fully determined by two data sets. We demonstrate that an axially symmetric zero $\Lambda$ QSS model with an observer located at the origin can be fully reconstructed from three data sets, number counts, luminosity distance and redshift drift. This is a first step towards a future demonstration involving five data sets and the most general Szekeres model.
