Bayesian correction of $H(z)$ cosmic chronometers data with systematic errors

Abstract

We show that the 32 $H(z)$ data from cosmic chronometers have overestimated uncertainties and make use of a Bayesian method to correct and reduce it. We then use the corrected data to constrain flat $\Lambda$CDM and O$\Lambda$CDM parameters. For the flat $\Lambda$CDM model, we got as result $H_{0} = 67.1\pm 4.0$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ and $\Omega _{m} = 0.333 ^{+0.041}_{-0.057}$. While for the O$\Lambda$CDM model, we found $H_{0} = 67.2\pm 4.8$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$, $\Omega _{m} = 0.36\pm 0.16$ and $\Omega _{\Lambda} =0.71 ^{+0.36}_{-0.28}$. These results goes from $22\%$ up to $28\%$ uncertainty reduction when compared to the constraints of the both uncorrected models.
