Dark Energy Survey Year 3 Results: Deep Field Optical + Near-Infrared Images and Catalogue
W. G. Hartley, A. Choi, A. Amon +115
We describe the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Deep Fields, a set of images and associated multi-wavelength catalogue () built from Dark Energy Camera (DECam) and Visible and…
DES Y3 results: Blending shear and redshift biases in image simulations
N. MacCrann, M. R. Becker, J. McCullough +93
As the statistical power of galaxy weak lensing reaches percent level precision, large, realistic and robust simulations are required to calibrate observational systematics, especi…
Identifying RR Lyrae Variable Stars in Six Years of the Dark Energy Survey
K. M. Stringer, A. Drlica-Wagner, L. Macri +67
We present a search for RR Lyrae stars using the full six-year data set from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) covering ~5,000 sq. deg. of the southern sky. Using a multi-stage multi-va…
Dark Energy Survey Year 3 Results: Point-Spread Function Modeling
M. Jarvis, G. M. Bernstein, A. Amon +79
We introduce a new software package for modeling the point-spread function (PSF) of astronomical images, called Piff (PSFs In the Full FOV), which we apply to the first three years…
Dark Energy Survey Year 3 Results: Weak Lensing Shape Catalogue
M. Gatti, E. Sheldon, A. Amon +100
We present and characterise the galaxy shape catalogue from the first 3 years of Dark Energy Survey (DES) observations, over an effective area of ~4143 deg of the southern sky.…
Reducing ground-based astrometric errors with Gaia and Gaussian processes
W. F. Fortino, G. M. Bernstein, P. H. Bernardinelli +64
Stochastic field distortions caused by atmospheric turbulence are a fundamental limitation to the astrometric accuracy of ground-based imaging. This distortion field is measurable…
Cosmological Constraints from DES Y1 Cluster Abundances and SPT Multi-wavelength data
M. Costanzi, A. Saro, S. Bocquet +87
We perform a joint analysis of the counts of redMaPPer clusters selected from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Y1 data and multi-wavelength follow-up data collected within the 2500 deg…
Candidate Periodically Variable Quasars from the Dark Energy Survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Yu-Ching Chen, Xin Liu, Wei-Ting Liao +62
Periodically variable quasars have been suggested as close binary supermassive black holes. We present a systematic search for periodic light curves in 625 spectroscopically confir…
Probing galaxy evolution in massive clusters using ACT and DES: splashback as a cosmic clock
Susmita Adhikari, Tae-hyeon Shin, Bhuvnesh Jain +113
We measure the projected number density profiles of galaxies and the splashback feature in clusters selected by the Sunyaev--Zeldovich (SZ) effect from the Advanced Atacama Cosmolo…
Discovery of a Candidate Binary Supermassive Black Hole in a Periodic Quasar from Circumbinary Accretion Variability
Wei-Ting Liao, Yu-Ching Chen, Xin Liu +68
Binary supermassive black holes (BSBHs) are expected to be a generic byproduct from hierarchical galaxy formation. The final coalescence of BSBHs is thought to be the loudest gravi…
The PAU Survey: An improved photo- sample in the COSMOS field
Alex Alarcon, Enrique Gaztanaga, Martin Eriksen +21
We present -- and make publicly available -- accurate and precise photometric redshifts in the ACS footprint from the COSMOS field for objects with . The re…
Constraints on the Physical Properties of GW190814 through Simulations based on DECam Follow-up Observations by the Dark Energy Survey
R. Morgan, M. Soares-Santos, J. Annis +99
On 14 August 2019, the LIGO and Virgo Collaborations detected gravitational waves from a black hole and a 2.6 solar mass compact object, possibly the first neutron star -- black ho…
Shadows in the Dark: Low-Surface-Brightness Galaxies Discovered in the Dark Energy Survey
