(Center): Our latest joint measurements of $\Omega _M$ and $w$ assuming $\Omega _M + \Omega _\Lambda = 1$ and that $w$ is not time-varying. Confidence regions (95\% and 99\%) are shown for the SCP SN Ia data overlaid with LSS measurements (Hawkins et al. 2002) and combined CMB measurements (Bennett et al. 2003; Spergel et al. 2003). (Right): 68\% statistical confidence intervals on the dark energy equation of state possible from {\it SNLS} when it is completed 5 years from now, assuming a flat universe (from CMB measurements), and with (black-solid) and without (blue-dot) a prior on $\Omega _M$ from Large-Scale Structure. If a small systematic error is introduced, the statistical confidence interval will miss the correct simulated $\Lambda $ ($w=-1$) solution by $2\sigma $ (red-dash). }}{4}} \@writefile{lof}{\contentsline {figure}{\numberline {2}{\ignorespaces The $B$ vs $B$-$I$ Color-Magnitude Diagram for several example SNe\nobreakspace {}Ia ordered by host-galaxy extinction going from top to bottom. The triangles show data points taken 0 to 35 days after $B_{max}$. The data shown as large red dots correspond to epochs during which the relation between magnitude and color is linear of all SNe (this is 13--25 days after $B_{max}$ for $B$-$I$. Using this linear relation we define fiducial magnitudes, which are found to be better distance indicators than maximum-light magnitudes (Wan03).
