Cosmology with supernovae: past, present and future
In this talk I will give an overview of the use of Type Ia supernovae
in cosmology. I will briefly describe the work that led to the 1998
discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe, and some of
the major supernova surveys that have been carried out since then to
better understand the cause of the acceleration. I will then describe
current efforts to find and study large samples of supernovae at the
highest redshifts observable with current telescopes, at z>1. Finally,
I will discuss the exciting prospects and challenges for supernova
cosmology with upcoming facilities including the Rubin Observatory,
4MOST, Euclid and the European Extremely Large Telescope.
