Abstract

We update constraints on cosmic opacity by combining recent SN Type Ia data compilation with the latest measurements of the Hubble expansion at redshifts between 0 and 2. The new constraint on the parameter $ε$ parametrising deviations from the luminosity-angular diameter distance relation ($d_L=d_A(1+z)^{2+ε}$), is $ε=-0.04_{-0.07}^{+0.08}$ (2-$σ$). For the redshift range between 0.2 and 0.35 this corresponds to an opacity $Δτ
