SN 2001em is a peculiar supernova, originally classified as Type Ib/c. About two years after the SN it was detected in the radio, showing a rising radio flux with an optically thin spectral slope, and it also displayed a large X-ray…
We examine the status of various dark energy-models in light of the recently observed SN 1997ff at z \approx 1.7. The modified data still fit a pure cosmological constant \Lambda or a quintessence with an equation of state similar to that…
We review the use of Type Ia supernovae for cosmological distance determinations. Low-redshift SNe Ia (z < 0.1) demonstrate that (a) the Hubble expansion is linear, (b) H_0 = 65 +/- 2 (statistical) km/s/Mpc, (c) the bulk motion of the Local…
The measured luminosity distances of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as a function of redshift have shown that the expansion of the Universe is currently accelerating, probably due to the presence of repulsive dark energy such as Einstein's…
We present the first fully relativistic investigation of matter fallback in a supernova. We investigate spherically symmetric supernova fallback using a relativistic radiation hydrodynamics Lagrangian code that handles radiation transport…
Ten years of photometric observations of SN 1987A are reviewed. The optical and near-infrared colors are now declining at less than 1 magnitude per 1000 days, which is consistent with both the infrared ``freeze-out'' and the possible energy…
The observation of SN 1997ff at redshift 1.7 has been claimed to refute alternative models such as grey dust or evolution for the faintness of distant supernovae, leaving only an accelerating Universe as a viable model. However, a very…
A new phenomenological theory for the expansion of our universe is presented. Because fundamental supporting theory is still in development, its discussion is not presented in this paper. The theory is based on a new algebraic expression…
We propose a model of the Universe based on Minkowski flat space-time metric. In this model the space-time does not evolve. Instead the matter evolves such that all the mass parameters increase with time. We construct a model based on…
Extending the spacetime manifold of general relativity (GR) to incorporate the Hubble expansion of space as a specific curvature, generates a modified solution with three additional non-zero Christoffel symbols and a reformulated Ricci…
The origin of dark energy driving the accelerated expansion of the universe is still mysterious. We explore the possibility that dark energy fluctuates, resulting in spatial correlations. Due to these fluctuations, the Hubble rate itself…
Standard cosmological models based on general relativity (GR) with dark energy predict that the Universe underwent a transition from decelerating to accelerating expansion at a moderate redshift $z_{acc} \sim 0.7$. Clearly, it is of great…
Over the last 20 years, supernovae have become a key tool to constrain the expansion history of the Universe through the construction of Hubble diagrams, using luminosity distances to supernovae belonging to the "Ia" subtype. This technique…
We examine recent evidence from the luminosity-redshift relation of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) for the $\sim 3 \sigma$ detection of a ``Hubble bubble'' -- a departure of the local value of the Hubble constant from its globally averaged…
Some recent observations provide $> 2\sigma$ evidence for phantom dark energy -- a value of the dark energy equation of state less than the cosmological-constant value of $-1$. We focus on constraining the equation of state by combining…
Recent cosmological measurements favour additional relativistic energy density beyond the one provided by the three active neutrinos and photons of the Standard Model (SM). This is often referred to as "dark radiation", suggesting the need…
The Hubble relation between distance and redshift is a purely cosmographic relation that depends only on the symmetries of a FLRW spacetime, but does not intrinsically make any dynamical assumptions. This suggests that it should be possible…
The discovery of dark energy by the first generation of high-redshift supernova surveys has generated enormous interest beyond cosmology and has dramatic implications for fundamental physics. Distance measurements using supernova explosions…
The recent analysis of low-redshift supernovae (SN) has increased the apparent tension between the value of $H_0$ estimated from low and high redshift observations such as the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. At the same time…
Not much by themselves, aparently. We try to reconstruct the scale factor $a(t)$ of the universe from the SNe Ia data, i.e. the luminosity distance $d_{L}(z)$, using only the cosmological principle and the assumption that gravitation is…
