Calán/Tololo Survey
(Calán/Tololo Supernova Search)
(late 1980s to early 1990s search to redshift 0.1)
The Calán/Tololo Survey
(Calán/Tololo Supernova Search)
was a survey from 1989 to 1995
at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory
aiming at supernovae out to redshift 0.1,
to find Type Ia supernovae in order to
make a more precise estimate of the Hubble constant.
It was instrumental in establishing the acceleration
that motivates the concept of dark energy.
