Imprint of DES super-structures on the Cosmic Microwave Background
A. Kovács, C. Sánchez, J. García-Bellido +58
Small temperature anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background can be sourced by density perturbations via the late-time integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect. Large voids and superclus…
Weak lensing magnification in the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification Data
M. Garcia-Fernandez, E. Sánchez, I. Sevilla-Noarbe +68
In this paper the effect of weak lensing magnification on galaxy number counts is studied by cross-correlating the positions of two galaxy samples, separated by redshift, using dat…
Weak-lensing mass calibration of redMaPPer galaxy clusters in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data
P. Melchior, D. Gruen, T. McClintock +78
We use weak-lensing shear measurements to determine the mean mass of optically selected galaxy clusters in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data. In a blinded analysis, we s…
Galaxy bias from galaxy-galaxy lensing in the DES Science Verification Data
J. Prat, C. Sánchez, R. Miquel +68
We present a measurement of galaxy-galaxy lensing around a magnitude-limited () sample of galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification (DES-SV) data. We…
Inference from the small scales of cosmic shear with current and future Dark Energy Survey data
N. MacCrann, J. Aleksić, A. Amara +61
Cosmic shear is sensitive to fluctuations in the cosmological matter density field, including on small physical scales, where matter clustering is affected by baryonic physics in g…
The clustering of luminous red galaxies at z 0.7 from eBOSS and BOSS data
Zhongxu Zhai, Jeremy L. Tinker, ChangHoon Hahn +15
We present the first scientific results from the luminous red galaxy sample (LRG) of the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). We measure the small and intermed…
Optical-SZE Scaling Relations for DES Optically Selected Clusters within the SPT-SZ Survey
A. Saro, S. Bocquet, J. Mohr +68
We study the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) signature in South Pole Telescope (SPT) data for an ensemble of 719 optically identified galaxy clusters selected from 124.6 deg of…
Testing the lognormality of the galaxy and weak lensing convergence distributions from Dark Energy Survey maps
L. Clerkin, D. Kirk, M. Manera +57
It is well known that the probability distribution function (PDF) of galaxy density contrast is approximately lognormal; whether the PDF of mass fluctuations derived from weak lens…
Cosmic Voids and Void Lensing in the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification Data
C. Sánchez, J. Clampitt, A. Kovacs +69
Galaxies and their dark matter halos populate a complicated filamentary network around large, nearly empty regions known as cosmic voids. Cosmic voids are usually identified in spe…
Cosmology from large scale galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing with Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data
Juliana Kwan, Carles Sanchez, Joseph Clampitt +80
We present cosmological constraints from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) using a combined analysis of angular clustering of red galaxies and their cross-correlation with weak gravitat…
Host Galaxy Identification for Supernova Surveys
Ravi R. Gupta, Steve Kuhlmann, Eve Kovacs +57
Host galaxy identification is a crucial step for modern supernova (SN) surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which will disco…
Cosmology constraints from shear peak statistics in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data
T. Kacprzak, D. Kirk, O. Friedrich +81
Shear peak statistics has gained a lot of attention recently as a practical alternative to the two point statistics for constraining cosmological parameters. We perform a shear pea…
Galaxy-Galaxy Lensing in the DES Science Verification Data
J. Clampitt, C. Sánchez, J. Kwan +73
We present galaxy-galaxy lensing results from 139 square degrees of Dark Energy Survey (DES) Science Verification (SV) data. Our lens sample consists of red galaxies, known as redM…
Detection of the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect with DES Year 1 and SPT
B. Soergel, S. Flender, K. T. Story +80
We detect the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect with a statistical significance of by combining a cluster catalogue derived from the first year data of the Dark Ene…
A Dark Energy Camera Search for an Optical Counterpart to the First Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914
M. Soares-Santos, R. Kessler, E. Berger +112
We report initial results of a deep search for an optical counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW150914, the first trigger from the Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detector…
Joint Measurement of Lensing-Galaxy Correlations Using SPT and DES SV Data
E. J. Baxter, J. Clampitt, T. Giannantonio +75
We measure the correlation of galaxy lensing and cosmic microwave background lensing with a set of galaxies expected to trace the matter density field. The measurements are perform…
