	deseretnews.com \| 'Cosmic jerk turned universe around,' experts say
		Some 5 billion years ago, said Dr. Adam Riess, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, the universe experienced a "cosmic jerk." Before then, he said, the combined gravity of the galaxies and everything else in the cosmos was resisting the cosmic expansion, slowing it down.
		To test which of these ideas was true, Riess and his colleagues had to find supernovae farther in the past than previous surveys had — about 7 billion light-years.
		When he plotted their velocities against distance, or time in the past, Riess found that the universe had to have changed direction, from slowing to speeding up, over a period of time about 5 billion years ago, the so-called cosmic jerk, using the technical term for a change in acceleration.

		In what some are calling a "landmark" study, scientists led by Adam Riess and Louis-Gregory Strolger said Friday that they have found the most reliable measure yet of the mysterious "dark energy" pushing everything in the universe apart.
		Riess' team attacked the problem by measuring how fast objects were moving at various times throughout the history of the universe.
		Their accuracy was eight times better than in 1998, Riess said--good enough to determine when the expansion of the universe stopped slowing, and began to speed up--about 5 billion years ago.

	Oldest, Most Distant Supernova Discovered Once Again (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Intrigued by the accumulating data, Adam Riess queried Nugent in July of 2000 about doing cosmology on an unnamed supernova at a redshift "around 1.65." There was only one such supernova; soon Riess and Nugent were collaborating.
		Among the numerous calculations Nugent performed at NERSC in communication with Riess, one of the most telling was a set of plots seeking the best fit to parameters that included supernova type, redshift, distance, and the evolution of the light curve.
		Adam G. Riess, Peter E. Nugent, and 12 of their colleagues, including representatives of both the High-Z Supernova Search Team and the Supernova Cosmology Project, are the authors of "A glimpse of the epoch of deceleration from the highest redshift supernova observed," which will soon appear in the Astrophysical Journal.

		Riess, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, has helped spearhead ground-breaking research in recent years showing that a mysterious force called "dark energy" is rapidly pushing the universe apart.
		But Riess is also among a group of scientists who now face an abrupt halt to their studies.
		Six years ago, however, two teams of scientists -- one including Riess, the other headed by Perlmutter -- used supernova measurements to demonstrate that the universe's expansion was accelerating.

		ADAM RIESS: These are really narrow though, aren't they, for a Type One-A? Well, we're striking out if this isn't the One-A—this makes absolutely no sense at all.
		Adam Riess and I were analyzing the results and Adam made a graph of brightness versus the redshift of a supernova and the dots, the data fell along a curve in the graph that did not indicate that the universe was slowing down in its expansion.
		ADAM RIESS: I was actually scared that I had made an error.

		The Space Telescope Science Institute researchers, led by Adam Riess [REESE], have measured the force and believe it to be stable.
		To measure dark energy, Adam Riess' team measured the expansion rate of the universe it was causing at different times in the past.
		Riess says they measured two properties of each supernova to learn how fast the universe was expanding at the time the light left them.

	Spaceflight Now \| Breaking News \| Supernova found to confirm accelerating universe
		To their surprise, astronomers found several years ago that the expansion of the universe was not slowing down, as had been assumed, but was actually accelerating under the influence of an unknown force.
		However, Riess discovered last year that the same region of the sky was studied just a few weeks after Gilliland's observations with an infrared camera on Hubble.
		Those images, taken over the course of a month, allowed Riess and colleagues to measure the supernova's brightness and redshift, and confirm that it was associated with a massive elliptical galaxy visible in the Hubble images that was more than 10 billion light years away.

	Expansion of Universe Was Once Sluggish, Now Speeding Up: Astronomers Report Cosmic Growth Spurts
		Riess was among 70 of the world's leading researchers at the Kavli-CERCA (Center for Education and Research in Cosmology and Astrophysics) Future of Cosmology conference to explore the science of the Universe, to report new information and to discuss the next 25 years of research.
		Five years ago, Riess and the High-z Supernova Search Team reported findings that the Universe was speeding up in its expansion, which ran counter to what was expected, namely that the attractive gravity of dark matter would slow the expansion of the Universe.
		CERCA is a new center, designed to enhance the world-class research programs in cosmology and astrophysics already at Case by providing fellowships to enable some of the world's best young researchers to spend time at the University.

		It took some enterprising and tenacious astronomers, led by Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, MD - and a little luck - to weave the information into a cohesive story.
		Riess employed the same technique as Gilliland, comparing Dickinson's picture of the galaxies in the deep field with Thompson's image to pinpoint the dying star.
		Riess and his collaborators calculated the distance to the supernova, which turned out to be near the limit of Hubble's vision.

	The oldest, farthest type Ia supernova was a lucky catch
		Berkeley Lab astrophysicist Peter Nugent, working with Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute, used an IBM SP supercomputer at NERSC to analyze data from an exploding star that had been caught once on purpose and twice by accident by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
		Riess and Nugent presented their findings at a press conference held at NASA headquarters in Washington on April 2, where they discussed the importance of their discovery for cosmology.
		He had no takers until July of last year, however, when Adam Riess, independently intrigued by the accumulating data, queried Nugent about doing cosmology on an unnamed supernova at a redshift "around 1.65." There was only one such supernova; soon Riess and Nugent were collaborating.

		Dark energy was conjured to explain a phenomenal discovery in 1998: Nearly all galaxies in the universe are receding from each other at an ever-faster pace.
		Riess' team uses Hubble to find stars that exploded when the universe was about half its present age.
		Riess' team has now observed 42 of the very distant supernovas — including 16 in the new work — in its Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) program.

		The team of astronomers, led by Riess, made the discovery by analyzing hundreds of images taken by Hubble in infrared and visible light to study how galaxies formed.
		The reason is that a decelerating universe holds galaxies relatively close together and objects in them would have appeared brighter because they would be closer.
		Riess made the discovery in collaboration with Peter Nugent (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), Brian Schmidt, (Mount Stromlo Observatory) and John Tonry (Institute for Astronomy).

	Supernova 1997ff
		It was found when astronomers used special computer software to subtract the light of the galaxy in the Deep Field images taken two years apart (Riess et al, 2001; Gilliland et al, 1999; and Gilliland and Phillips, 1998).
		Supernova 1997ff lies around 11.3 +/-0.2 billion light-years (ly) from Sol, which means that the progenitor star that evolved into the exploding white dwarf was even older (Riess et al, 2001; Gilliland et al, 1999; and Gilliland and Phillips, 1998).
		The observed colors and temporal behavior of this supernova matched that of a typical SN Ia (Riess et al, 2001).Unfortunately, it has never been visible with the naked eye.

	Innovators - Adam Riess
		Thanks in large part to Adam Riess, they're a lot closer to an answer—and it's not what they expected.
		Riess was only 25 when he joined a prestigious group of scientists who set out in 1995 to measure what was expected would be a post Big Bang cosmic slowdown.
		But in January 1998, Riess saw something weird: the number he was getting for the slowdown kept coming out negative.

		Their PI was Brian Schmidt (full disclosure: my old grad-school officemate); the first author on the discovery paper was Adam Riess; and their spiritual leader was Robert Kirshner (most of the team members were either students or postdocs of Bob’s at one point or another).
		Let me make an assertion: back in 1998, when all of this was breaking, my role in the SCP was extremely similar to Adam Riess’ role in the High-Z team.
		Now, yes, Adam was the first author on the paper– but part of that was the better democracy of the High-Z team.

	Universe Is Moving Quickly, Says DARK Conference Astronomer
		Adam Riess, a project member of the Space Telescope Science Institute located at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, headlined the first public session of the 2004 DARK Conference, a five-day meeting of internationally known physicists and astronomers discussing various aspects of the universe.
		Riess said that for centuries, the belief among top physicists - including Einstein - was that the universe was "static" or relatively unchanged.
		That theory was changed forever by the work of Edwin Hubble, who in 1929 proved that universe is expanding and accelerating.

	UFP Weekly Issue 41 vol1
		I read in ESQUIRE Magazine, (The Genius Issue, December 2003) that Adam Riess of the SPACE, TELESCOPE AND SCIENCE INSTITUTE in Baltimore, MD has actually proved that a theory of Einstein's was correct when Big-Stein predicted it in 1917.
		Einstein later dropped the theory saying it was his "biggest blunder." Riess and a team of universe examiners have now proved that Einstein was right in 1917.
		The theory is that of Dark Energy which basically lets us know that the world will not end with the Universe engulfing itself, but rather, planets and stars will continue to drift apart but the Milky Way will remain intact because of Gravity.
