| Popis: | We examine the prospects for measurement of the Hubble parameter $H_0$ via observation of the secular parallax of other galaxies due to our own motion relative to the cosmic microwave background rest frame. Peculiar velocities make distance measurements to individual galaxies highly uncertain, but a survey sampling many galaxies can still yield a precise $H_0$ measurement. We use both a Fisher information formalism and simulations to forecast errors in $H_0$ from such surveys, marginalizing over the unknown peculiar velocities. The optimum survey observes $\sim 10^2$ galaxies within a redshift $z_\mathrm{max}=0.06$. The required errors on proper motion are comparable to those that can be achieved by Gaia and future astrometric instruments. A measurement of $H_0$ via parallax has the potential to shed light on the tension between different measurements of $H_0$. Comment: Published MNRAS October 2022 - 9 pages, 6 figures |
