35. Cosmology with type-Ia Supernovae

The large-scale search for type Ia supernovae, which has been undertaken since the discovery of the accelerated expansion of the universe in the late nineties, has been largely successful. With now about 1000 SNe-Ia on the Hubble diagram, recent type Ia supernovae surveys provide a precise mapping of the distance-redshift relation up to $z\sim1$, setting, at this time,the most stringent...

The Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) standard ruler has risen in prominence over the last decade, reaching a 1% distance measure at z = 0.57 with the latest release from the SDSS-III BOSS survey and providing the first detection of the BAO in the Lyman-alpha forest. The same large scale structure (LSS) surveys allow constraints on the growth rate of cosmic structure through redshift space...
