Description
In the current era of precision cosmology, there is a growing interest in
using new probes to explore the evolution of the universe and extend the
mapping of its expansion to include currently uncovered redshift ranges.
In this talk, I will introduce the possibility of using Quasars as
cosmological probes, which have the potential to expand the Hubble diagram
of Supernovae to z = 2.4 - 7.5, allowing us to distinguish between
predictions of different cosmological models. Additionally, I will test
several dark energy models using Quasar data and investigate their
possible incompatibilities with measurements from Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations,
Dark Energy Survey and Cosmic Microwave Background radiation.
