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…

Observation and Confirmation of Six Strong Lensing Systems in The Dark Energy Survey Science Verification Data

B. Nord, E. Buckley-Geer, H. Lin +89

We report the observation and confirmation of the first group- and cluster-scale strong gravitational lensing systems found in Dark Energy Survey (DES) data. Through visual inspect…

Physical properties of star clusters in the outer LMC as observed by the Dark Energy Survey

A. Pieres, B. Santiago, E. Balbinot +57

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) harbors a rich and diverse system of star clusters, whose ages, chemical abundances, and positions provide information about the LMC history of sta…

Crowdsourcing quality control for Dark Energy Survey images

P. Melchior, E. Sheldon, A. Drlica-Wagner +47

We have developed a crowdsourcing web application for image quality control employed by the Dark Energy Survey. Dubbed the "DES exposure checker", it renders science-grade images d…

Photometric redshifts and clustering of emission line galaxies selected jointly by DES and eBOSS

S. Jouvel, T. Delubac, J. Comparat +65

We present the results of the first test plates of the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. This paper focuses on the emission line galaxies (ELG) population targetted…

SDSS-IV eBOSS emission-line galaxy pilot survey

J. Comparat, T. Delubac, S. Jouvel +83

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV extended Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (SDSS-IV/eBOSS) will observe 195,000 emission-line galaxies (ELGs) to measure the Baryonic Acoust…
