Identification of Galaxy-Galaxy Strong Lens Candidates in the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey Using Machine Learning
E. A. Zaborowski, A. Drlica-Wagner, F. Ashmead +88
We perform a search for galaxy-galaxy strong lens systems using a convolutional neural network (CNN) applied to imaging data from the first public data release of the DECam Local V…
A galaxy-driven model of type Ia supernova luminosity variations
P. Wiseman, M. Vincenzi, M. Sullivan +59
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are used as standardisable candles to measure cosmological distances, but differences remain in their corrected luminosities which display a magnitude s…
The Evolution of AGN Activity in Brightest Cluster Galaxies
T. Somboonpanyakul, M. McDonald, A. Noble +73
We present the results of an analysis of Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) observations on the full 2500 deg^2 South Pole Telescope (SPT)-SZ cluster sample. We describe a…
Optical Variability of Quasars with 20-Year Photometric Light Curves
Zachary Stone, Yue Shen, Colin J. Burke +52
We study the optical photometric variability of a sample of 190 quasars within the SDSS Stripe 82 region that have long-term photometric coverage during with…
Dwarf AGNs from Optical Variability for the Origins of Seeds (DAVOS): Insights from the Dark Energy Survey Deep Fields
Colin J. Burke, Xin Liu, Yue Shen +69
We present a sample of 706, active galactic nuclei (AGNs) selected from optical photometric variability in three of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) deep fields (E2, C3, and…
From the Fire: A Deeper Look at the Phoenix Stream
K. Tavangar, P. Ferguson, N. Shipp +64
We use six years of data from the Dark Energy Survey to perform a detailed photometric characterization of the Phoenix stellar stream, a 15-degree long, thin, dynamically cold, low…
Multi-wavelength Optical and NIR Variability Analysis of the Blazar PKS 0027-426
E. Guise, S. F. Hönig, T. Almeyda +62
We present multi-wavelength spectral and temporal variability analysis of PKS 0027-426 using optical griz observations from DES (Dark Energy Survey) between 2013-2018 and VOILETTE…
Galaxy Morphological Classification Catalogue of the Dark Energy Survey Year 3 data with Convolutional Neural Networks
Ting-Yun Cheng, Christopher J. Conselice, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca +57
We present in this paper one of the largest galaxy morphological classification catalogues to date, including over 20 million of galaxies, using the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 3…
The Observed Evolution of the Stellar Mass - Halo Mass Relation for Brightest Central Galaxies
Jesse B. Golden-Marx, C. J. Miller, Y. Zhang +73
We quantify evolution in the cluster scale stellar mass - halo mass (SMHM) relation's parameters using 2323 clusters and brightest central galaxies (BCGs) over the redshift range $…
Rates and delay times of type Ia supernovae in the Dark Energy Survey
P. Wiseman, M. Sullivan, M. Smith +87
We use a sample of 809 photometrically classified type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) along with 40415 field galaxies to calculate the rate of SN…
The DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey: Overview and First Data Release
A. Drlica-Wagner, J. L. Carlin, D. L. Nidever +67
The DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE) is a 126-night survey program on the 4-m Blanco Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. DELVE seeks to…
OzDES Reverberation Mapping Program: The first Mg II lags from five years of monitoring
Zhefu Yu, Paul Martini, A. Penton +63
Reverberation mapping is a robust method to measure the masses of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) outside of the local Universe. Measurements of the radius -- luminosity () r…
