Dust Reverberation Mapping in Distant Quasars from Optical and Mid-Infrared Imaging Surveys
Qian Yang, Yue Shen, Xin Liu +47
The size of the dust torus in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and their high-luminosity counterparts, quasars, can be inferred from the time delay between UV/optical accretion disk co…
Spectral Variability of a Sample of Extreme Variability Quasars and Implications for the MgII Broad-line Region
Qian Yang, Yue Shen, Yu-Ching Chen +49
We present new Gemini/GMOS optical spectroscopy of 16 extreme variability quasars (EVQs) that dimmed by more than 1.5 mag in the band between the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS…
Candidate Massive Galaxies at in the Dark Energy Survey
Pierandrea Guarnieri, Claudia Maraston, Daniel Thomas +52
Using stellar population models, we predicted that the Dark Energy Survey (DES) - due to its special combination of area (5000 deg. sq.) and depth () - would be in the po…
DES J0454-4448: Discovery of the First Luminous z > 6 Quasar from the Dark Energy Survey
S. L. Reed, R. G. McMahon, M. Banerji +59
We present the first results of a survey for high redshift, z 6, quasars using izY multi-colour photometric observations from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Here we report the…
Galaxies in X-ray Selected Clusters and Groups in Dark Energy Survey Data I: Stellar Mass Growth of Bright Central Galaxies Since z~1.2
Y. Zhang, C. Miller, T. Mckay +80
Using the science verification data of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) for a new sample of 106 X-Ray selected clusters and groups, we study the stellar mass growth of Bright Central G…
Stellar Kinematics and Metallicities in the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Reticulum II
J. D. Simon, A. Drlica-Wagner, T. S. Li +69
We present Magellan/M2FS, VLT/GIRAFFE, and Gemini South/GMOS spectroscopy of the newly discovered Milky Way satellite Reticulum II. Based on the spectra of 25 Ret II member stars s…
Eight New Milky Way Companions Discovered in First-Year Dark Energy Survey Data
The DES Collaboration, K. Bechtol, A. Drlica-Wagner +91
We report the discovery of eight new Milky Way companions in ~1,800 deg^2 of optical imaging data collected during the first year of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Each system is id…
