First Cosmology Results Using Type Ia Supernovae From the Dark Energy Survey: Survey Overview and Supernova Spectroscopy
C. B. D'Andrea, M. Smith, M. Sullivan +108
We present spectroscopy from the first three seasons of the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program (DES-SN). We describe the supernova spectroscopic program in full: strategy, observ…
First Cosmology Results Using Type Ia Supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey: Effects of Chromatic Corrections to Supernova Photometry on Measurements of Cosmological Parameters
J. Lasker, R. Kessler, D. Scolnic +78
Calibration uncertainties have been the leading systematic uncertainty in recent analyses using type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) to measure cosmological parameters. To improve the calib…
Quasar Accretion Disk Sizes from Continuum Reverberation Mapping in the DES Standard Star Fields
Zhefu Yu, Paul Martini, T. M. Davis +72
Measurements of the physical properties of accretion disks in active galactic nuclei are important for better understanding the growth and evolution of supermassive black holes. We…
First Cosmology Results using Type Ia Supernova from the Dark Energy Survey: Simulations to Correct Supernova Distance Biases
R. Kessler, D. Brout, C. B. D'Andrea +103
We describe catalog-level simulations of Type Ia supernova (SN~Ia) light curves in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program (DES-SN), and in low-redshift samples from the Center fo…
First Cosmology Results Using Type Ia Supernovae From the Dark Energy Survey: Analysis, Systematic Uncertainties, and Validation
D. Brout, D. Scolnic, R. Kessler +122
We present the analysis underpinning the measurement of cosmological parameters from 207 spectroscopically classified type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the first three years of the…
First Cosmological Results using Type Ia Supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey: Measurement of the Hubble Constant
E. Macaulay, R. C. Nichol, D. Bacon +106
We present an improved measurement of the Hubble constant (H_0) using the 'inverse distance ladder' method, which adds the information from 207 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the…
Cosmological Constraints from Multiple Probes in the Dark Energy Survey
DES Collaboration, T. M. C. Abbott, A. Alarcon +166
The combination of multiple observational probes has long been advocated as a powerful technique to constrain cosmological parameters, in particular dark energy. The Dark Energy Su…
First Cosmology Results using Type Ia Supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey: Constraints on Cosmological Parameters
T. M. C. Abbott, S. Allam, P. Andersen +141
We present the first cosmological parameter constraints using measurements of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program (DES-SN). The analysis uses…
Updating the MACHO fraction of the Milky Way dark halo with improved mass models
Josh Calcino, Juan Garcia-Bellido, Tamara M. Davis
Recent interest in primordial black holes as a possible dark matter candidate has motivated the reanalysis of previous methods for constraining massive astrophysical compact object…
Rapidly evolving transients in the Dark Energy Survey
M. Pursiainen, M. Childress, M. Smith +79
We present the results of a search for rapidly evolving transients in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Programme. These events are characterized by fast light curve evolution (rise…
