We then combine the Type Ia SN data and new measurements of the CMB marginalized likelihood functions of the CMB and Type Ia anisotropy, these preliminary indications should quickly SNs data. The result is shown inFigure 3. Again, we must turn into very strong constraints(Tegmark et al. 1998). caution that systematic errors in either the Type Ia SNs CONCLUSIONS data(R98a) or the CMB could a†ect this result. 6. Nevertheless, it is heartening to see that the combined The current results from the High-z Supernova Search constraint favors a location in this parameter space that has Team suggest that there is an additional energy component not been ruled out by other observations, though there may sharing the universe with gravitating matter.

This Type Ia SN and CMB observations is in concordance with e†ectively rules out topological defects such as strings and inÑation, large-scale structure measurements, and the ages textures as the additional component, and it disfavors of stars(Ostriker & Steinhardt 1995; Krauss & Turner domain walls as that component.
