How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T15581854 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

High-z Supernova Search Team
The High-z Supernova Search Team was an international collaboration of astronomers that used distant Type Ia supernovae to discover the accelerating expansion of the universe, leading to the concept of dark energy.
-
D.
Supernova Cosmology Project
The Supernova Cosmology Project is an international research collaboration that used observations of distant Type Ia supernovae to discover the accelerating expansion of the universe, providing key evidence for dark energy.
-
E.
Type Ia supernovae
Type Ia supernovae are a class of stellar explosions with nearly uniform intrinsic brightness, making them powerful standard candles for measuring cosmic distances and probing the expansion history of the universe.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
