Description
Cosmology is the study of the origin, composition, evolution, and ultimate fate of the Universe. In recent decades, there have been significant advances in both the observational and theoretical aspects of our understanding of the Universe. The study of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) has been instrumental in driving this progress. Despite these advances, many questions in cosmology remain open. In this talk, I show that the peculiar velocities of SNe Ia can be used to reconstruct both the local Universe and its expansion history, and I highlight current and future opportunities in light of upcoming large-scale surveys such as the LSST, which is expected to discover an unprecedented number of SNe Ia.
