...the following fundamental tasks: Researching the laws of accelerated expansion of the Universe with the use of type 1a supernovae. The discovery of these objects in the red shift range of 0.1 < z < 0.8, where the decelerated and accelerated expansion...

Mysterious Quark Nova lights up an exploding star for a second time
... of matter onto a companion star and as the matter reaches a critical limit, it ignites a series of runaway nuclear reactions. Type II supernovas occur when a star runs out of nuclear fuel and it collapses under its own gravity. What is left...

New physics needed to explain early expansion of the Universe
... as standard candles has great potential, since we can observe them out to much greater distances from us than type-Ia supernovas, and so use them to probe much earlier epochs in the history of the cosmos,” explains Lusso. So, using X-ray...

... of mass on galaxy and cluster scales. With the aid of the SDSS-II Supernova Survey, his research interests also includes analysing type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) to better understand their role as cosmological distance indicators and to improve...
