Photometric characterization of the Dark Energy Camera
G. M. Bernstein, T. M. C. Abbott, R. Armstrong +9
We characterize the variation in photometric response of the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) across its 520~Mpix science array during 4 years of operation. These variations are measured…
How Many Kilonovae Can Be Found in Past, Present, and Future Survey Datasets?
D. Scolnic, R. Kessler, D. Brout +83
The discovery of a kilonova (KN) associated with the Advanced LIGO (aLIGO)/Virgo event GW170817 opens up new avenues of multi-messenger astrophysics. Here, using realistic simulati…
DES Science Portal: Creating Science-Ready Catalogs
Angelo Fausti Neto, Luiz da Costa, Aurelio Carnero Rosell +55
We present a novel approach for creating science-ready catalogs through a software infrastructure developed for the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We integrate the data products release…
Instrumental response model and detrending for the Dark Energy Camera
G. M. Bernstein, T. M. C. Abbott, S. Desai +11
We describe the model for the mapping from sky brightness to the digital output of the Dark Energy Camera, and the algorithms adopted by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) for inverting…
COSMOGRAIL XVI: Time delays for the quadruply imaged quasar DES J0408-5354 with high-cadence photometric monitoring
F. Courbin, V. Bonvin, E. Buckley-Geer +74
We present time-delay measurements for the new quadruply imaged quasar DES J0408-5354, the first quadruply imaged quasar found in the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Our result is made p…
Astrometric calibration and performance of the Dark Energy Camera
G. M. Bernstein, R. Armstrong, A. A. Plazas +53
We characterize the ability of the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) to perform relative astrometry across its 500~Mpix, 3 deg^2 science field of view, and across 4 years of operation. Th…
