DESI Strong Lens Foundry III: Keck Spectroscopy for Strong Lenses Discovered Using Residual Neural Networks
Shrihan Agarwal, Xiaosheng Huang, William Sheu +49
We present spectroscopic data of strong lenses and their source galaxies using the Keck Near-Infrared Echellette Spectrometer (NIRES) and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (…
Frequentist Cosmological Constraints from Full-Shape Clustering Measurements in DESI DR1
James Morawetz, Hanyu Zhang, Marco Bonici +53
We present a frequentist analysis of clustering measurements from Data Release 1 of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) using the standard profile likelihood method. Wh…
The Construction of Large-scale Structure Catalogs for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
A. J. Ross, J. Aguilar, S. Ahlen +83
We present the technical details on how large-scale structure (LSS) catalogs are constructed from redshifts measured from spectra observed by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrume…
SOAR/Goodman Spectroscopic Assessment of Candidate Counterparts of the LIGO-Virgo Event GW190814
Douglas Tucker, Matthew Wiesner, Sahar Allam +140
On 2019 August 14 at 21:10:39 UTC, the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration (LVC) detected a possible neutron star-black hole merger (NSBH), the first ever identified. An extensive search for…
Performance of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument(DESI) Fiber System
Claire Poppett, Patrick Jelinsky, Julien Guy +17
The recently commissioned Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will measure the expansion historyof the universe using the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation technique. The spectra…
A Deeper Look at DES Dwarf Galaxy Candidates: Grus I and Indus II
Sarah A. Cantu, Andrew B. Pace, Jennifer Marshall +11
We present deep - and -band Magellan/Megacam photometry of two dwarf galaxy candidates discovered in the Dark Energy Survey (DES), Grus I and Indus II (DES J2038-4609). For t…
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…
Search for RR Lyrae stars in DES ultra-faint systems: Grus I, Kim 2, Phoenix II, and Grus II
C. E. Martínez-Vázquez, A. K. Vivas, M. Foucoin +57
This work presents the first search for RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) in four of the ultra-faint systems imaged by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) using SOAR/Goodman and Blanco/DECam imagers.…
Studying the Ultraviolet Spectrum of the First Spectroscopically Confirmed Supernova at redshift two
M. Smith, M. Sullivan, R. C. Nichol +87
We present observations of DES16C2nm, the first spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-free superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at redshift z~2. DES16C2nm was discovered by the Dark Ene…
Discovery and Physical Characterization of a Large Scattered Disk Object at 92 AU
David Gerdes, Masao Sako, Stephanie Hamilton +65
We report the observation and physical characterization of the possible dwarf planet \UZ\ ("DeeDee"), a dynamically detached trans-Neptunian object discovered at 92 AU. This object…
Eight Ultra-faint Galaxy Candidates Discovered in Year Two of the Dark Energy Survey
The DES Collaboration, A. Drlica-Wagner, K. Bechtol +74
We report the discovery of eight new ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates in the second year of optical imaging data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Six of these candidates are d…
OzDES multi-fibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: first-year operation and results
Fang Yuan, C. Lidman, T. M. Davis +99
OzDES is a five-year, 100-night, spectroscopic survey on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, whose primary aim is to measure redshifts of approximately 2,500 Type Ia supernovae host ga…
Search for Gamma-Ray Emission from DES Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy Candidates with Fermi-LAT Data
LAT Collaboration, The DES Collaboration, A. Drlica-Wagner +123
Due to their proximity, high dark-matter content, and apparent absence of non-thermal processes, Milky Way dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies (dSphs) are excellent targets for the…
Eight New Milky Way Companions Discovered in First-Year Dark Energy Survey Data
The DES Collaboration, K. Bechtol, A. Drlica-Wagner +91
We report the discovery of eight new Milky Way companions in ~1,800 deg^2 of optical imaging data collected during the first year of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Each system is id…
