TL;DR: The most distant spectroscopically confirmed supernova was reported in this paper, and it was found to be similar to nearby type Ia supernovae, which suggests that we may live in a low-mass-density universe.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of high-redshift supernovae were used to confirm previous supernova evidence for an accelerating universe, and the supernova results were combined with independent flat-universe measurements of the mass density from CMB and galaxy redshift distortion data, they provided a measurement of $w=-1.05^{+0.15}-0.09$ if w is assumed to be constant in time.
