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…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Wide field mass maps via forward fitting in harmonic space

B. Mawdsley, D. Bacon, C. Chang +63

We present new wide-field weak lensing mass maps for the Year 1 Dark Energy Survey data, generated via a forward fitting approach. This method of producing maps does not impose any…

Identification of RR Lyrae stars in multiband, sparsely-sampled data from the Dark Energy Survey using template fitting and Random Forest classification

K. M. Stringer, J. P. Long, L. M. Macri +75

Many studies have shown that RR Lyrae variable stars (RRL) are powerful stellar tracers of Galactic halo structure and satellite galaxies. The Dark Energy Survey (DES), with its de…

Rediscovery of the Sixth Star Cluster in the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

Mei-Yu Wang, Sergey Koposov, Alex Drlica-Wagner +58

Since first noticed by Shapley in 1939, a faint object coincident with the Fornax dwarf spheroidal has long been discussed as a possible sixth globular cluster system. However, deb…

CIV Black Hole Mass Measurements with the Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES)

J. K. Hoormann, P. Martini, T. M. Davis +67

Black hole mass measurements outside the local universe are critically important to derive the growth of supermassive black holes over cosmic time, and to study the interplay betwe…

Three new VHS-DES Quasars at 6.7 < z < 6.9 and Emission Line Properties at z > 6.5

S. L. Reed, M. Banerji, G. D. Becker +58

We report the results from a search for z > 6.5 quasars using the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 3 dataset combined with the VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS) and WISE All-Sky Survey. O…
