Studying the Ultraviolet Spectrum of the First Spectroscopically Confirmed Supernova at redshift two

M. Smith, M. Sullivan, R. C. Nichol +87

We present observations of DES16C2nm, the first spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-free superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at redshift z~2. DES16C2nm was discovered by the Dark Ene…

The Bulge Metallicity Distribution from the APOGEE Survey

Ana E. Garcia Perez, Melissa Ness, Annie C. Robin +14

The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) provides spectroscopic information of regions of the inner Milky Way inaccessible to optical surveys. We present…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Calibration of redMaGiC Redshift Distributions in DES and SDSS from Cross-Correlations

R. Cawthon, C. Davis, M. Gatti +88

We present calibrations of the redshift distributions of redMaGiC galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES Y1) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR8 data. These results det…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: galaxy mock catalogues for BAO

S. Avila, M. Crocce, A. J. Ross +51

Mock catalogues are a crucial tool in the analysis of galaxy surveys data, both for the accurate computation of covariance matrices, and for the optimisation of analysis methodolog…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Galaxy Sample for BAO Measurement

M. Crocce, A. J. Ross, I. Sevilla-Noarbe +84

We define and characterise a sample of 1.3 million galaxies extracted from the first year of Dark Energy Survey data, optimised to measure Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the prese…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Measurement of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation scale in the distribution of galaxies to redshift 1

The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. M. C. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +109

We present angular diameter distance measurements obtained by locating the BAO scale in the distribution of galaxies selected from the first year of Dark Energy Survey data. We con…
