- Dark Energy Survey - Project aiming to understand why the universe is accelerating and not being slowed by the mass it contains.
- Quintessence and the Cosmological Constant - A review of the basic idea of the cosmological constant, and of proposals to replace it by a time-varying field. By Michael Doran and Christof Wetterich.
- Supernova Cosmology Project - Homepage of a research project based at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, dedicated to using observations of supernova explosions to measure the distance of far-away galaxies; this, in turn allows one to map the properties of cosmic expansion.
- The Cosmological Constant - Review article by Sean Carroll (Caltech) on one of the most important open cosmological questions: the physics behind the acceleration of cosmic expansion. Requires undergraduate physics knowledge. Published in the electronic review journal, Living Reviews in Relativity
- The Cosmological Constant - Brief overview of the role of the cosmological constant in modern cosmology, using mathematics at an undergraduate level (and, rarely, beyond). Includes a list of technical articles and links. By Eli Michael (University of Colorado at Boulder).
