Cross-correlation of gravitational lensing from DES Science Verification data with SPT and Planck lensing

D. Kirk, Y. Omori, A. Benoit-Lévy +89

We measure the cross-correlation between weak lensing of galaxy images and of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The effects of gravitational lensing on different sources will…

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…

No galaxy left behind: accurate measurements with the faintest objects in the Dark Energy Survey

E. Suchyta, E. M. Huff, J. Aleksić +72

Accurate statistical measurement with large imaging surveys has traditionally required throwing away a sizable fraction of the data. This is because most measurements have have rel…

The DES Science Verification Weak Lensing Shear Catalogues

M. Jarvis, E. Sheldon, J. Zuntz +92

We present weak lensing shear catalogues for 139 square degrees of data taken during the Science Verification (SV) time for the new Dark Energy Camera (DECam) being used for the Da…

Cosmic Shear Measurements with DES Science Verification Data

M. R. Becker, M. A. Troxel, N. MacCrann +102

We present measurements of weak gravitational lensing cosmic shear two-point statistics using Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data. We demonstrate that our results are robu…

Cosmology from Cosmic Shear with DES Science Verification Data

The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +126

We present the first constraints on cosmology from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), using weak lensing measurements from the preliminary Science Verification (SV) data. We use 139 squ…
