Abstract |
Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) are exquisite tools with which to trace the history of cosmic expansion, and they have a starring role in attempts to understand the dark energy that drives our accelerating Universe. Current supernova samples have grown to a size where systematic uncertainties are beginning to dominate statistical ones. I will discuss progress and prospects in this field, with special attention to the role of Hubble Space Telescope observations of SN Ia in both the distant and nearby Universe. |
