Omega_lambda, Omega_m ! We know you're in there. We've got you surrounded. Come out with your hands up

Abstract

Recent cosmic microwave background measurements combined with recent supernovae limits and other observational data have ambushed Omega_lambda and Omega_m. These cosmological culprits are trapped in a small pocket of parameter space: Omega_lambda = 0.62 +/- 0.16 and Omega_m = 0.24 +/- 0.10. If this is correct then an unknown 2/3 of the Universe has been identified.
