Studying Dark Energy with Supernovae
Marek Kowalski (Universität Bonn)
Seminar Room 3, 15:00
The use of Type Ia Supernovae as cosmic standard candles pose
still perhaps the most direct way to probe the Cosmic acceleration
history. I will review the present status of Supernova cosmology
as well as other cosmological probes. Then I will focus on what
current observations can tell us about the properties of Dark Energy,
i.e. our (in-)ability to distinguish dark energy models from cosmological
constant. In the last part I will give an outlook at what to expect from
future surveys.
