The Cosmological Supernova Recycling Program

Type Ia supernova explosions are traditionally used to determine the largest distances in astronomy. Distances are both one of the hardest and most important measurements in cosmology, and recent progress on this area lead to a revolution in the field and the whole dark energy story. But I will NOT focus on that. Instead, I will show that there is much more information on what is often considered the noise in the supernova data. I will discuss how to recycle this noise into signal, and use supernovae to measure both the present large-scale matter distribution and its evolution along the recent billions of years.
