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…

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…
