Improving Cosmological Distance Measurements Using Twin Type Ia Supernovae
H. K. Fakhouri, K. Boone, G. Aldering +41
We introduce a method for identifying "twin" Type Ia supernovae, and using them to improve distance measurements. This novel approach to Type Ia supernova standardization is made p…
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…
redMaGiC: Selecting Luminous Red Galaxies from the DES Science Verification Data
E. Rozo, E. S. Rykoff, A. Abate +84
We introduce redMaGiC, an automated algorithm for selecting Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs). The algorithm was specifically developed to minimize photometric redshift uncertainties in…
The Difference Imaging Pipeline for the Transient Search in the Dark Energy Survey
R. Kessler, J. Marriner, M. Childress +60
We describe the difference imaging pipeline (DiffImg) used to detect transients in deep images from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova program (DES-SN) in its first observing season…
OzDES multi-fibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: first-year operation and results
Fang Yuan, C. Lidman, T. M. Davis +99
OzDES is a five-year, 100-night, spectroscopic survey on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, whose primary aim is to measure redshifts of approximately 2,500 Type Ia supernovae host ga…
SN 2009ip at late times - an interacting transient at +2 years
Morgan Fraser, Rubina Kotak, Andrea Pastorello +31
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the interacting transient SN 2009ip taken during the 2013 and 2014 observing seasons. We characterise the photometric evolu…
Supernova 2013by: A Type IIL Supernova with a IIP-like light curve drop
S. Valenti, D. Sand, M. Stritzinger +11
We present multi-band ultraviolet and optical light curves, as well as visual-wavelength and near-infrared spectroscopy of the Type II linear (IIL) supernova (SN) 2013by. We show t…
