The Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program: Modelling selection efficiency and observed core collapse supernova contamination
M. Vincenzi, M. Sullivan, O. Graur +79
The analysis of current and future cosmological surveys of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at high-redshift depends on the accurate photometric classification of the SN events detected…
Optimising a magnitude-limited spectroscopic training sample for photometric classification of supernovae
Jonathan E. Carrick, Isobel M. Hook, Elizabeth Swann +4
In preparation for photometric classification of transients from the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) we run tests with different training data sets. Using estimates of the d…
The XMM Cluster Survey: new evidence for the 3.5 keV feature in clusters is inconsistent with a dark matter origin
S. Bhargava, P. A. Giles, A. K. Romer +14
There have been several reports of a detection of an unexplained excess of X-ray emission at 3.5 keV in astrophysical systems. One interpretation of this excess is the dec…
An optimised tiling pattern for multi-object spectroscopic surveys: application to the 4MOST survey
E. Tempel, T. Tuvikene, M. M. Muru +22
Large multi-object spectroscopic surveys require automated algorithms to optimise their observing strategy. One of the most ambitious upcoming spectroscopic surveys is the 4MOST su…
OzDES multi-object fibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: Results and second data release
C. Lidman, B. E. Tucker, T. M. Davis +101
We present a description of the Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES) and summarise the results from its six years of operations. Using the 2dF fibre positioner and AAOmega spectro…
The Host Galaxies of Rapidly Evolving Transients in the Dark Energy Survey
P. Wiseman, M. Pursiainen, M. Childress +72
Rapidly evolving transients (RETs), also termed fast blue optical transients (FBOTs), are a distinct class of astrophysical event. They are characterised by lightcurves that declin…
