TL;DR: In this paper, the mass density, Omega_M, and cosmological-constant energy density of the universe were measured by the analysis of 42 Type Ia supernovae discovered by the Supernova Cosmology Project.

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.
