The Supernova Legacy Survey: Measurement of Omega_M, Omega_Lambda and w from the First Year Data Set

P. Astier, J. Guy, N. Regnault +39

We present distance measurements to 71 high redshift type Ia supernovae discovered during the first year of the 5-year Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS). These events were detected an…

Cluster Evolution Since z~1

R. Demarco, J. P. Blakeslee, H. C. Ford +8

We have used the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the HST to obtain optical imaging of a sample of 8 galaxy clusters in the redshift range 0.8 < z < 1.3. The ACS data provides…

Confirmation of two extended objects along the line of sight to PKS1830-211 with ESO-VLT adaptive optics imaging

G. Meylan, F. Courbin, C. Lidman +2

We report on new high-resolution near-infrared images of the gravitationally lensed radio source PKS1830-211, a quasar at z=2.507. These adaptive optics observations, taken with th…
