A Study of Quasar Selection in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova fields
S. S. Tie, P. Martini, D. Mudd +75
We present a study of quasar selection using the DES supernova fields. We used a quasar catalog from an overlapping portion of the SDSS Stripe 82 region to quantify the completenes…
Early observations of the nearby type Ia supernova SN 2015F
R. Cartier, M. Sullivan, R. Firth +25
We present photometry and time-series spectroscopy of the nearby type Ia supernova (SN Ia) SN 2015F over days to days relative to maximum light, obtained as part of the…
The Superluminous Transient ASASSN-15lh as a Tidal Disruption Event from a Kerr Black Hole
G. Leloudas, M. Fraser, N. C. Stone +47
When a star passes within the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole, it will be torn apart. For a star with the mass of the Sun () and a non-spinning black hole with a…
The 2-degree Field Lensing Survey: design and clustering measurements
Chris Blake, Alexandra Amon, Michael Childress +16
We present the 2-degree Field Lensing Survey (2dFLenS), a new galaxy redshift survey performed at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. 2dFLenS is the first wide-area spectroscopic surve…
The ANU WiFeS SuperNovA Program (AWSNAP)
Michael J. Childress, Brad E. Tucker, Fang Yuan +24
This paper presents the first major data release and survey description for the ANU WiFeS SuperNovA Program (AWSNAP). AWSNAP is an ongoing supernova spectroscopy campaign utilising…
Discovery of a z=0.65 Post-Starburst BAL Quasar in the DES Supernova Fields
Dale Mudd, Paul Martini, Suk Sien Tie +55
We present the discovery of a z=0.65 low-ionization broad absorption line (LoBAL) quasar in a post-starburst galaxy in data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and spectroscopy from…
450 Days of Type II SN 2013ej in Optical and Near-Infrared
Fang Yuan, A. Jerkstrand, S. Valenti +31
We present optical and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2013ej, in galaxy M74, from 1 to 450 days after the explosion. SN 2013ej is a hydrogen-rich su…
On the nature of Hydrogen-rich Superluminous Supernovae
C. Inserra, S. J. Smartt, E. E. E. Gall +33
We present two hydrogen-rich superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), namely SN2013hx and PS15br. These objects, together with SN2008es are the only SLSNe showing a distinct, broad Halpha…
The redMaPPer Galaxy Cluster Catalog From DES Science Verification Data
E. S. Rykoff, E. Rozo, D. Hollowood +86
We describe updates to the \redmapper{} algorithm, a photometric red-sequence cluster finder specifically designed for large photometric surveys. The updated algorithm is applied t…
