Calán/Tololo Supernova Survey
(Calán/Tololo Supernova Search, Calán/Tololo Survey)
(late 1980s to early 1990s search to redshift 0.1)
The Calán/Tololo Supernova Survey
(Calán/Tololo Supernova Search or just
Calán/Tololo Survey)
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.
An earlier (1980s) Calán Tololo Survey
searched for Seyfert galaxies, emission line galaxies and quasars.
