Supernova teams: evidence that cosmic expansion is accelerating

What is recorded here?

Two independent supernova programs found distance–redshift evidence consistent with an accelerating cosmic expansion.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

One package groups the 1998 Riess and 1999 Perlmutter papers so the same milestone is not counted twice. Inference depends on calibration and cosmological assumptions.
