Scientific paper

Type Ia supernovae are very powerful probes for cosmology and clear tracers of the past history of the universe. Two independent high-redshift supernova collaborations (the High-Z Team and the Supernova Cosmology Project) have presented this year evidence that we live in a low-matter density universe whose expansion is being accelerated by the presence of a dominant vacuum energy density. The Supernova Cosmology Project by using the searches performed at various z for cosmological purposes has measured high-z supernova rates as well. Those measurements provide unvaluable information on the cosmic star formation history, on the efficiency in producing supernovae out of stars, and on the involved timescale to explosion. The cosmic background due to supernova emission can also be calculated in agreement with the measured rates
