Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Redshift distributions of the weak lensing source galaxies
B. Hoyle, D. Gruen, G. M. Bernstein +135
We describe the derivation and validation of redshift distribution estimates and their uncertainties for the galaxies used as weak lensing sources in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Y…
Intensive disc-reverberation mapping of Fairall 9: 1st year of Swift & LCO monitoring
J. V. Hernández Santisteban, R. Edelson, K. Horne +33
We present results of time-series analysis of the first year of the Fairall 9 intensive disc-reverberation campaign. We used Swift and the Las Cumbres Observatory global telescope…
Quasar Accretion Disk Sizes From Continuum Reverberation Mapping From the Dark Energy Survey
D. Mudd, P. Martini, Y. Zu +69
We present accretion disk size measurements for 15 luminous quasars at derived from light curves from the Dark Energy Survey. We measure the disk sizes…
A Study of Quasar Selection in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova fields
S. S. Tie, P. Martini, D. Mudd +75
We present a study of quasar selection using the DES supernova fields. We used a quasar catalog from an overlapping portion of the SDSS Stripe 82 region to quantify the completenes…
The Man Behind the Curtain: X-rays Drive the UV through NIR Variability in the 2013 AGN Outburst in NGC 2617
B. J. Shappee, J. L. Prieto, D. Grupe +44
After the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) discovered a significant brightening of the inner region of NGC 2617, we began a ~70 day photometric and spectroscopic m…
The First Swift Intensive AGN Accretion Disk Reverberation Mapping Survey
R. Edelson, J. Gelbord, E. Cackett +32
Swift intensive accretion disk reverberation mapping of four AGN yielded light curves sampled 200-350 times in 0.3-10 keV X-ray and six UV/optical bands. Uniform reduction an…
Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. IX. Velocity-Delay Maps for Broad Emission Lines in NGC 5548
Keith Horne, G. De Rosa, B. M. Peterson +155
We report velocity-delay maps for prominent broad emission lines, Ly_alpha, CIV, HeII and H_beta, in the spectrum of NGC5548. The emission-line responses inhabit the interior of a…
Velocity-resolved reverberation mapping of five bright Seyfert 1 galaxies
G. De Rosa, M. M. Fausnaugh, C. J. Grier +99
We present the first results from a reverberation-mapping campaign undertaken during the first half of 2012, with additional data on one AGN (NGC 3227) from a 2014 campaign. Our ma…
Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. XII. Broad-Line Region Modeling of NGC 5548
P. R. Williams, A. Pancoast, T. Treu +155
We present geometric and dynamical modeling of the broad line region for the multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign focused on NGC 5548 in 2014. The dataset includes photo…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cosmological Constraints from Galaxy Clustering and Weak Lensing
DES Collaboration, T. M. C. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +197
We present cosmological results from a combined analysis of galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing, using 1321 deg of imaging data from the first year of the D…
OzDES multifibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: Three year results and first data release
M. J. Childress, C. Lidman, T. M. Davis +98
We present results for the first three years of OzDES, a six-year programme to obtain redshifts for objects in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) supernova fields using the 2dF fibre pos…
Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. VII. Understanding the UV anomaly in NGC 5548 with X-Ray Spectroscopy
S. Mathur, A. Gupta, K. Page +147
During the Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project (STORM) observations of NGC 5548, the continuum and emission-line variability became de-correlated during the s…
CIV Black Hole Mass Measurements with the Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES)
J. K. Hoormann, P. Martini, T. M. Davis +67
Black hole mass measurements outside the local universe are critically important to derive the growth of supermassive black holes over cosmic time, and to study the interplay betwe…
OzDES multi-object fibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: Results and second data release
C. Lidman, B. E. Tucker, T. M. Davis +101
We present a description of the Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES) and summarise the results from its six years of operations. Using the 2dF fibre positioner and AAOmega spectro…
Quasar Accretion Disk Sizes from Continuum Reverberation Mapping in the DES Standard Star Fields
Zhefu Yu, Paul Martini, T. M. Davis +72
Measurements of the physical properties of accretion disks in active galactic nuclei are important for better understanding the growth and evolution of supermassive black holes. We…
