Cosmology with type-Ia supernovae
arXiv:astro-ph/0703459 · doi:10.1088/1751-8113/40/25/S19
Abstract
I review the use of type-Ia supernovae (SNe) for cosmological studies. After briefly recalling the main features of type-Ia SNe that lead to their use as cosmological probes, I briefly describe current and planned type-Ia SNe surveys, with special emphasis on their physics reach in the presence of systematic uncertainties, which will be dominant in nearly all cases.
