Cosmology from Cosmic Shear with DES Science Verification Data
The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +126
We present the first constraints on cosmology from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), using weak lensing measurements from the preliminary Science Verification (SV) data. We use 139 squ…
Image Analysis for Cosmology: Results from the GREAT10 Star Challenge
T. D. Kitching, B. Rowe, M. Gill +13
We present the results from the first public blind PSF reconstruction challenge, the GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 2010 (GREAT10) Star Challenge. Reconstruction of a spati…
Mass and galaxy distributions of four massive galaxy clusters from Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data
P. Melchior, E. Suchyta, E. Huff +89
We measure the weak-lensing masses and galaxy distributions of four massive galaxy clusters observed during the Science Verification phase of the Dark Energy Survey. This pathfinde…
The DES Science Verification Weak Lensing Shear Catalogues
M. Jarvis, E. Sheldon, J. Zuntz +92
We present weak lensing shear catalogues for 139 square degrees of data taken during the Science Verification (SV) time for the new Dark Energy Camera (DECam) being used for the Da…
CFHTLenS: Weak lensing calibrated scaling relations for low mass clusters of galaxies
K. Kettula, S. Giodini, E. van Uitert +24
We present weak lensing and X-ray analysis of 12 low mass clusters from the CFHTLenS and XMM-CFHTLS surveys. We combine these systems with high-mass systems from CCCP and low-mass…
