Hubble constant from the improved lens modeling of the cluster-lensed supernova Refsdal with new spectroscopic redshifts and the jackknife method

Time-delay cosmology offers an alternative approach to measuring the Hubble constant (${H}_{0}$), which is distinct from the cosmic distance ladder and cosmic microwave background radiation methods. In this study, we present an improved strong lens mass modeling analysis of the cluster-lensed supernova Refsdal, incorporating the latest spectroscopic redshift data from the MUSE on the Very Large Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope CANUCS/Technicolor. The robustness of our lens models is confirmed using the Jackknife method. From our analysis that considers four lens mass models with different assumptions on profiles of dark matter halos and external perturbations, we derive a constraint on the Hubble constant of ${H}_{0}=66.0\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}4.3\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{km}\text{ }{\mathrm{s}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}\text{ }{\mathrm{Mpc}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ after combining best-fitted values of the four lens models.
