SN Ia confidence contours from all sources for Omega Matter and Omega Lambda- Blue contours show 68,95 and 99.7% confidence intervals. Overlaid in Orange are SNIa + 2dF (Percival et al 2002) Contours
SN Ia confidence contours from all sources for the equation of state and Omega Matter- Blue contours show the 68, 95 99.7% confidence intervals. Overlaid in Orange are SN Ia+2dF (Percival et al. 2002) Contours.
The Residual Hubble Diagram (relative to an Empty Universe) of 172 SN Ia. For better visual clarity, the blue points represent the binned median values of distances.

The Value of the Hubble constant times the age of the Universe as measured from the complete set of 172 SN Ia at z>0.01
Experimental Error as a function of redshift. Best fit model (A), 1-sigma model (B), are shown relative to Concordance Model (C). Although Best fit model deviates at 1.5 sigma from Concordance model on the basis of statistical error alone, once systematic component of 0.04 mag is included, the difference is less than 1-sigma.
