超新星宇宙学的观测与研究进展
Supernova Cosmology: Observations and Progress
摘要
Abstract
Supernova Ia serving as a standard candle, plays an important role in the cos-mological probes. Along this line, the pioneer studies which discovered the accelerating expansion of the Universe, won the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. In this paper, we give a detailed review on this topic including the histories, recent progresses and future prospects as well as the related studies in China. We first present the cosmological principles that are related to the expansion of the Universe and the role of Supernova Ia as a standard candle in probing this expansion. The pioneer observational studies carried out by the Supernova Cosmology Project and High-z Supernova Search Team, which won the Nobel Prize are then reviewed in detail. After these, we outline the recent progresses, especially the various supernova search projects from local universe to high redshift, such as the CfA, SNFactory, PTF, panStarrs, SDSS, Essence, SNLS and HST. These projects reveal similar conclusions about the accelerating expansion of the Universe, while as expected with higher precisions. The up-to-dated sample of Union 2.1 is introduced and the related constraints are discussed as well. Apart from these, we also give a brief introduction to the related investigations and projects being or to be carried out in China. And finally short discussions about the future prospects about the supernova cosmology are presented.关键词
