Résumé
Abstract

La découverte de lʼaccélération cosmique est lʼun des développements les plus importants de la cosmologie moderne. Lʼobservation, il y a 13 ans, que les supernovae de type Ia étaient moins lumineuses quʼattendu pour un univers en phase de décélération, et une série dʼobservations indépendantes mettant en jeu des galaxies, des amas de galaxies et le rayonnement de fond cosmique, pointent toutes dans la même direction : nous semblons être dans un univers spatialement plat qui subit une phase dʼaccélération de son expansion. Dans cet article, nous passons en revue les différentes observations, la plupart obtenues au cours des 10 dernières années, et les améliorations quʼapporteront les projets actuellement en phase de prise de données ou encore en préparation.

The discovery of cosmic acceleration is one of the most important developments in modern cosmology. The observation, thirteen years ago, that type Ia supernovae appear dimmer that they would have been in a decelerating universe followed by a series of independent observations involving galaxies and cluster of galaxies as well as the cosmic microwave background, all point in the same direction: we seem to be living in a flat universe whose expansion is currently undergoing an acceleration phase. In this article, we review the various observational evidences, most of them gathered in the last decade, and the improvements expected from projects currently collecting data or in preparation.
