The Dark Energy Survey: more than dark energy - an overview

Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +138

This overview article describes the legacy prospect and discovery potential of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) beyond cosmological studies, illustrating it with examples from the DES…

2MTF V. Cosmography, Beta, and the residual bulk flow

Christopher M. Springob, Tao Hong, Lister Staveley-Smith +7

Using the Tully-Fisher relation, we derive peculiar velocities for the 2MASS Tully-Fisher Survey and describe the velocity field of the nearby Universe. We use adaptive kernel smoo…

Redshift distributions of galaxies in the DES Science Verification shear catalogue and implications for weak lensing

C. Bonnett, M. A. Troxel, W. Hartley +104

We present photometric redshift estimates for galaxies used in the weak lensing analysis of the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification (DES SV) data. Four model- or machine learni…

Cosmic Shear Measurements with DES Science Verification Data

M. R. Becker, M. A. Troxel, N. MacCrann +102

We present measurements of weak gravitational lensing cosmic shear two-point statistics using Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data. We demonstrate that our results are robu…

Weak lensing by galaxy troughs in DES Science Verification data

D. Gruen, O. Friedrich, A. Amara +89

We measure the weak lensing shear around galaxy troughs, i.e. the radial alignment of background galaxies relative to underdensities in projections of the foreground galaxy field o…

Wide-Field Lensing Mass Maps from DES Science Verification Data

C. Chang, V. Vikram, B. Jain +81

We present a mass map reconstructed from weak gravitational lensing shear measurements over 139 sq. deg from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Science Verification data. The mass map pr…
