Riess develops improved light-curve techniques for standardizing Type Ia supernova luminosities and reducing uncertainty in cosmological distance estimates.
Riess leads the analysis reporting observational evidence from Type Ia supernovae for an accelerating universe and a positive cosmological constant.
Riess measures distant supernovae showing cosmic acceleration, adding dark energy to Big Bang cosmology
Kirshner contributes to the High-z team's supernova distance analysis and interpretation of the evidence that cosmic expansion is accelerating.
Garnavich and colleagues use distant supernova observations to constrain cosmological models, finding evidence favouring a positive cosmological constant.
Filippenko contributes spectroscopic identification and analysis of distant Type Ia supernovae used by the High-z team to establish cosmic acceleration.
Suntzeff contributes nearby-supernova calibration and observational expertise that supports the High-z team's measurement of accelerated expansion.
