Eight New Milky Way Companions Discovered in First-Year Dark Energy Survey Data
The DES Collaboration, K. Bechtol, A. Drlica-Wagner +91
We report the discovery of eight new Milky Way companions in ~1,800 deg^2 of optical imaging data collected during the first year of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Each system is id…
Physical properties of star clusters in the outer LMC as observed by the Dark Energy Survey
A. Pieres, B. Santiago, E. Balbinot +57
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) harbors a rich and diverse system of star clusters, whose ages, chemical abundances, and positions provide information about the LMC history of sta…
Digging deeper into the Southern skies: a compact Milky-Way companion discovered in first-year Dark Energy Survey data
E. Luque, A. Queiroz, B. Santiago +61
The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is a 5000 sq. degree survey in the southern hemisphere, which is rapidly reducing the existing north-south asymmetry in the census of MW satellites and…
Eight Ultra-faint Galaxy Candidates Discovered in Year Two of the Dark Energy Survey
The DES Collaboration, A. Drlica-Wagner, K. Bechtol +74
We report the discovery of eight new ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates in the second year of optical imaging data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Six of these candidates are d…
Deep SOAR follow-up photometry of two Milky Way outer-halo companions discovered with Dark Energy Survey
E. Luque, B. Santiago, A. Pieres +48
We report the discovery of a new star cluster, DES 3, in the constellation of Indus, and deeper observations of the previously identified satellite DES J0222.75217 (Eridanus III…
A stellar over-density associated with the Small Magellanic Cloud
A. Pieres, B. X. Santiago, A. Drlica-Wagner +64
We report the discovery of a stellar over-density 8 north of the center of the Small Magellanic Cloud (Small Magellanic Cloud Northern Over-Density; SMCNOD) using data fr…
The Dark Energy Survey view of the Sagittarius stream: discovery of two faint stellar system candidates
E. Luque, A. Pieres, B. Santiago +63
We report the discovery of two new candidate stellar systems in the constellation of Cetus using the data from the first two years of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). The objects, DES…
Search for Gamma-Ray Emission from DES Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy Candidates with Fermi-LAT Data
LAT Collaboration, The DES Collaboration, A. Drlica-Wagner +123
Due to their proximity, high dark-matter content, and apparent absence of non-thermal processes, Milky Way dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies (dSphs) are excellent targets for the…
