Accelerating Universe: Observational Status and Theoretical Implications
arXiv:astro-ph/0601014
Abstract
This is a pedagogical review of the recent observational data obtained from type Ia supernova surveys that support the accelerating expansion of the universe. The methods for the analysis of the data are reviewed and some of the theoretical implications obtained from their analysis are discussed.
