Roman Space Telescope SN Ia \(w(z)\) (forward)
| Prediction / mechanism | Forward; Roman will probe \(w(z)\) to \(\sigma_{w_a} \sim 0.05\). Distinguishing canonical \(|w_a| < 10^{-4}\) from any \(\Lambda\)CDM-extension scenario. |
|---|---|
| Measured | Roman first-light expected \(\sim\!2027\). |
| Residual / status | OPEN / FORWARD |
| Status | OPEN |
| Source paper | DCT-COS-01 |
Mechanism
Background EOS prediction \(w_0 = -1\), \(|w_a| < 10^{-4}\); Roman will discriminate.
Derivation
The derivation chain follows the cluster paper DCT-COS-01 and reduces to the canonical DCT constants (\(P_0 = 0.851\), \(\omega_0 = 50{,}037\), \(c_{BD} = 138{,}189\), master identity \(2\omega_0 + 3 = c_{BD} \cdot P_0^2 = 100{,}077\)). See the cluster paper for the full multi-line derivation.
Methodology
| Domain | Cosmology (COS) |
|---|---|
| Input data source | See "References" below for the canonical public-archive citation. |
| Measurement procedure | The measured value used here is the most recent peer-reviewed central value plus 1σ uncertainty from the cited reference. |
| Acceptance threshold | HIT: residual within 1σ of measurement. SOFT: directional agreement within bracketing range. OPEN: untested or unresolved. |
| Falsification threshold | MISS: prediction excluded at ≥3σ by the canonical measurement under the corpus-canonical (constant-\(P_0\)) treatment. |
| Current status | See verdict pill above. |
Python verification
Verification script: pantheon_supernova_analysis.py. Run with python3 pantheon_supernova_analysis.py to reproduce the canonical DCT result against the public-archive measurement source listed below.

Audit notes
This sub-page is part of the post-build-out of the observable archive (see the observable index). Verdict reflects the corpus-canonical (constant-\(P_0\)) treatment. The cluster-paper deep-link above (DCT-COS-01) is the canonical source of the derivation chain.
