Observations of distant supernovae have provided startling evidence
that the expansion of the Universe may be accelerating, rather than
decelerating. If this result is verified by future studies, it has
profound implications for cosmology. The reliability of this
finding and its implications for both the study of supernovae and
cosmology are the subject of this exciting volume. Based on a
conference at the University of Chicago, this timely volume,
originally published in 2000, presents articles by leading experts
on the theory of Type Ia supernovae, observational astronomy, and
cosmology. It examines the observational data, the nature of the
likely progenitor binary systems, the outburst mechanisms of Type
Ia supernovae events, and the cosmological implications. This is a
unique and wide-ranging review of one of the most dramatic and
controversial results in astronomy in recent decades. It makes
fascinating reading for all researchers and graduate students.
