The Mystery of Photometric Twins DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy
M. Pursiainen, C. Gutierrez, P. Wiseman +80
We present an analysis of DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy, two peculiar transients discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). They exhibit nearly identical double-peaked light curves wh…
Detection of cross-correlation between gravitational lensing and gamma rays
S. Ammazzalorso, D. Gruen, M. Regis +75
In recent years, many gamma-ray sources have been identified, yet the unresolved component hosts valuable information on the faintest emission. In order to extract it, a cross-corr…
Modelling the Milky Way. I -- Method and first results fitting the thick disk and halo with DES-Y3 data
A. Pieres, L. Girardi, E. Balbinot +53
We present MWFitting, a method to fit the stellar components of the Galaxy by comparing Hess Diagrams (HDs) from TRILEGAL models to real data. We apply MWFitting to photometric dat…
Superluminous Supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey
C. R. Angus, M. Smith, M. Sullivan +72
We present a sample of 21 hydrogen-free superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I), and one hydrogen-rich SLSN (SLSN-II) detected during the five-year Dark Energy Survey (DES). These SNe,…
Astrometry and Occultation predictions to Trans-Neptunian and Centaur Objects observed within the Dark Energy Survey
Martin Banda-Huarca, Julio Camargo, Josselin Desmars +59
Transneptunian objects (TNOs) are a source of invaluable information to access the history and evolution of the outer solar system. However, observing these faint objects is a diff…
Rapidly evolving transients in the Dark Energy Survey
M. Pursiainen, M. Childress, M. Smith +79
We present the results of a search for rapidly evolving transients in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Programme. These events are characterized by fast light curve evolution (rise…
