Explore cutting-edge developments in observational cosmology through this conference session featuring two comprehensive presentations on cosmic distance measurements and supernova cosmology. Learn about the revolutionary potential of photometric supernovae observations in the upcoming LSST era and discover innovative approaches to cosmic distance determination that could reshape our understanding of the universe's expansion. Delve into the technical challenges and opportunities presented by next-generation astronomical surveys, examining how new observational techniques may help resolve current tensions in cosmological measurements, including the Hubble constant discrepancy. Gain insights into the statistical methods and theoretical frameworks being developed to handle the unprecedented volume of data expected from facilities like the Vera Rubin Observatory, and understand how novel cosmic distance indicators could provide independent verification of our cosmological models. This session addresses critical questions about the future of precision cosmology and the tools needed to test the standard ΛCDM model as we enter an era of data-rich astronomy.
