Stargazing Accelerating universe - luminosity data

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the need for measurement data related to distant astronomical objects, specifically type Ia supernovae, focusing on redshift and luminosity flux data. Participants highlight the complexity of the topic, noting that it is a significant area of study within cosmology. A specific inquiry is made about the time interval used for luminosity flux measurements and the formulas for calculating luminosity distance. A recommended resource is provided, directing users to the Carnegie Supernova Project website for relevant publications and data. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these measurements in the context of an accelerating universe.

I am looking for the measurement data for distant objects (e.g. type Ia supernovae)
The red shift and the luminosity flux data.
What time interval is used in the luminosity flux measurement?
What formula is used for the luminosity distance calculation?

Hopefully you realize that this is a huge topic and that people spend their careers on the questions you raise. However, having said that, the website below might be a good place to start. The 'CSP Publications' tab has some good review articles, and the 'Data' tab has access to some of the data.

Yes I know ... and I like to better understand at least some details form this huge topic.

Such objects are very bright (obiously) and very energetic. The article indicates that AT 2024wpp had a peak luminosity of 2-4 x...
