| Description | Journal: Physics World A star that exploded over 10 billion years ago has provided astronomers with further evidence that the universe is filled with an exotic form of "dark energy" that pushes galaxies apart at ever-increasing speeds. SN1997ff, as the supernova is known, was first identified four years ago by the Hubble Space Telescope. Now a team led by Adam Riess at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore and Peter Nugent of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has re-analysed infrared images from other studies that unintentionally included the exploding star. They conclude that SN1997ff is the oldest and most distant type-1 a supernova ever observed (A Riess et al. 2001 Astrophys. J. at press). |
