Supernova Cosmology: Legacy and Future
by Ariel Goobar, Bruno Leibundgut - arXiv
The discovery of dark energy has generated enormous interest beyond cosmology and has dramatic implications for fundamental physics. Distance measurements using supernova explosions are the most direct probes of the expansion history of the Universe.

Observational Probes of Cosmic Acceleration
by David H. Weinberg, et al. - arXiv
The accelerating expansion of the universe is the most surprising cosmological discovery in many decades, implying that the universe is dominated by dark energy. We review in detail the most well established methods for making such measurements.

Why CMB physics?
by Massimo Giovannini - arXiv
This text introduces some basic problems arising in gravitation and modern cosmology. All along the discussion the guiding theme is provided by the phenomenological and theoretical properties of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).
