HEP-Astro Seminar | Measuring Dark Energy and The Hubble Constant With Type Ia Supernovae

Dan Scolnic (University of Chicago)

Type Ia Supernovae (SNIa) continue to be a critical probe in measurements of dark energy and The Hubble constant. I will discuss the role of SNIa in a new local measurement of the Hubble Constant by the SH0ES team that is in tension with measurements of the Hubble Constant from analysis of the Cosmic Microwave Background. I will discuss ongoing analyses from PanSTARRS and The Dark Energy Survey to provide state-of-the-art constraints on dark energy with SNIa. I will also present multiple new advances in methods of standardizing and calibrating these supernovae. Finally I will look ahead to the next generation of surveys including LSST and WFIRST and discuss critical questions about systematics of current analyses that must be solved for these future surveys to be successful.
