Stargazing Accelerating universe - luminosity data

AI Thread 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.

Thread 'How feasible is home radio astronomy?'

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
