Dark Energy and Kinematics from SNe Ia at z>1
Abstract
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) provide the only direct evidence for an accelerating universe and the existence of dark energy. We are in the third year of the first space-based search and follow-up program to find SNe Ia at z>1 using the Hubble Space Telescope to further explore the kinematics of the expanding Universe and to characterize the nature of Dark Energy.
