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…

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…

Detection of the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect with DES Year 1 and SPT

B. Soergel, S. Flender, K. T. Story +80

We detect the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect with a statistical significance of by combining a cluster catalogue derived from the first year data of the Dark Ene…

A Dark Energy Camera Search for an Optical Counterpart to the First Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914

M. Soares-Santos, R. Kessler, E. Berger +112

We report initial results of a deep search for an optical counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW150914, the first trigger from the Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detector…

Joint Measurement of Lensing-Galaxy Correlations Using SPT and DES SV Data

E. J. Baxter, J. Clampitt, T. Giannantonio +75

We measure the correlation of galaxy lensing and cosmic microwave background lensing with a set of galaxies expected to trace the matter density field. The measurements are perform…

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…
