An extreme particle accelerator in the Galactic plane: HESS J1826130
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, H. Abdalla, R. Adam +236
The unidentified very-high-energy (VHE; E 0.1 TeV) -ray source, HESS J1826130, was discovered with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) in the Galactic plane. The a…
Combined Dark Matter searches towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, HESS, MAGIC and VERITAS
Louise Oakes, Celine Armand, Eric Charles +13
The search for Dark Matter (DM) has great potential to reveal physics beyond the Standard Model. As such, searches for evidence of DM particles are being carried out using a wide r…
Status of Astronomy in Namibia
M. Backes, R. Evans, E. K. Kasai +1
Astronomy plays a major role in the scientific landscape of Namibia and Southern Africa. Considerable progress has been achieved scientifically as well as in terms of human capacit…
First Cosmology Results using Type Ia Supernova from the Dark Energy Survey: Simulations to Correct Supernova Distance Biases
R. Kessler, D. Brout, C. B. D'Andrea +103
We describe catalog-level simulations of Type Ia supernova (SN~Ia) light curves in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program (DES-SN), and in low-redshift samples from the Center fo…
First Cosmology Results Using Type Ia Supernovae From the Dark Energy Survey: Photometric Pipeline and Light Curve Data Release
D. Brout, M. Sako, D. Scolnic +89
We present griz light curves of 251 Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) from the first 3 years of the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program's (DES-SN) spectroscopically classified sample. T…
First Cosmology Results Using Type Ia Supernovae From the Dark Energy Survey: Analysis, Systematic Uncertainties, and Validation
D. Brout, D. Scolnic, R. Kessler +122
We present the analysis underpinning the measurement of cosmological parameters from 207 spectroscopically classified type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the first three years of the…
