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…

Searching for Cosmic Strings in CMB Anisotropy Maps using Wavelets and Curvelets

Lukas Hergt, Adam Amara, Robert Brandenberger +2

We use wavelet and curvelet transforms to extract signals of cosmic strings from cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropy maps, and to study the limits on the cosmi…

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…

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…

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 bias from the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data: combining galaxy density maps and weak lensing maps

C. Chang, A. Pujol, E. Gaztanaga +80

We measure the redshift evolution of galaxy bias for a magnitude-limited galaxy sample by combining the galaxy density maps and weak lensing shear maps for a 116 deg ar…
