Observational Evidence from Supernovae for an Accelerating Universe and a Cosmological Constant
- A. Riess, A. Filippenko, +17 authors J. Tonry
- Physics
- 15 May 1998
We present spectral and photometric observations of 10 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the redshift range 0.16 " z " 0.62. The luminosity distances of these objects are determined by methods that… Expand
A 2.4% Determination of the Local Value of the Hubble Constant
We use the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to reduce the uncertainty in the local value of the Hubble constant (H_0) from 3.3% to 2.4%. Improvements come from new,… Expand
A 3% Solution: Determination of the Hubble Constant with the Hubble Space Telescope and Wide Field Camera 3
- A. Riess, L. Macri, +6 authors R. Chornock
- Physics
- 15 March 2011
We use the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to determine the Hubble constant from optical and infrared observations of over 600 Cepheid variables in the host galaxies of… Expand
Type Ia supernova discoveries at z > 1 from the Hubble Space Telescope: Evidence for past deceleration and constraints on dark energy evolution
- A. Riess, L. Strolger, +16 authors Z. Tsvetanov
- Physics
- 23 February 2004
We have discovered 16 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and have used them to provide the first conclusive evidence for cosmic deceleration that preceded the current… Expand
Large Magellanic Cloud Cepheid Standards Provide a 1% Foundation for the Determination of the Hubble Constant and Stronger Evidence for Physics beyond ΛCDM
- A. Riess, S. Casertano, W. Yuan, L. Macri, D. Scolnic
- Physics
- 18 March 2019
We present an improved determination of the Hubble constant (H0) from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of 70 long-period Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud. These were obtained with the… Expand
CANDELS: The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey
- N. A. Grogin, D. D. Kocevski, +104 authors M. Yun
- Physics
- 18 May 2011
The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) is designed to document the first third of galactic evolution, over the approximate redshift (z) range 8-1.5. It will… Expand
New Hubble Space Telescope Discoveries of Type Ia Supernovae at z ≥ 1: Narrowing Constraints on the Early Behavior of Dark Energy*
- A. Riess, L. Strolger, +18 authors D. Stern
- Physics
- 17 November 2006
We have discovered 21 new Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and have used them to trace the history of cosmic expansion over the last 10 billion yr. These objects,… Expand
A REDETERMINATION OF THE HUBBLE CONSTANT WITH THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE FROM A DIFFERENTIAL DISTANCE LADDER
This is the second of two papers reporting results from a program to determine the Hubble constant to ~5% precision from a refurbished distance ladder based on extensive use of differential… Expand
Improved Distances to Type Ia Supernovae with Multicolor Light-Curve Shapes: MLCS2k2
- S. Jha, A. Riess, R. Kirshner
- Physics
- 21 December 2006
We present an updated version of the multicolor light-curve shape method to measure distances to Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), incorporating new procedures for K-correction and extinction corrections.… Expand
