Supernova Cosmology

Saul Perlmutter

The SCP is conducting a search for very distant (redshifts greater than 1.2) Type Ia supernovae using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the Hubble Space Telescope. The Supernova Cosmology Project developed key analytic techniques that, by interpreting supernova measurements, could be used to determine the cause of the expansion rate of the universe.
