Evidence for Environmental Stripping in the Coma Cluster

Richard T. Pomeroy, Juan P. Madrid, Conor R. O'Neill +1

The stability and longevity of globular clusters (GCs) make them effective tracers of the dynamical histories of galaxies in cluster environments. We construct a catalog of 23,351…

A Wide Field Map of Ultra-Compact Dwarfs in the Coma Cluster

Richard T. Pomeroy, Juan P. Madrid, Conor R. O'Neill +1

A dataset of 23,351 globular clusters (GCs) and ultra-compact dwarfs (UCDs) in the Coma cluster of galaxies was built using Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys data.…

The Gemini/HST Galaxy Cluster Project: Environment Effects on the Stellar Populations in the Lynx Clusters at z=1.27

Inger Jorgensen, Laura C. Hunter, Conor R. O'Neill +4

Few detailed investigations of stellar populations in passive galaxies beyond z~1 are based on deep spectroscopic observations, due to the difficulty in obtaining such data. We pre…

A wide field map of intracluster globular clusters in Coma

Juan P. Madrid, Conor R. O'Neill, Alexander T. Gagliano +1

The large-scale distribution of globular clusters in the central region of the Coma cluster of galaxies is derived through the analysis of Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera fo…

Quasar Accretion Disk Sizes From Continuum Reverberation Mapping From the Dark Energy Survey

D. Mudd, P. Martini, Y. Zu +69

We present accretion disk size measurements for 15 luminous quasars at derived from light curves from the Dark Energy Survey. We measure the disk sizes…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cross-Correlation Redshifts - Methods and Systematics Characterization

M. Gatti, P. Vielzeuf, C. Davis +104

We use numerical simulations to characterize the performance of a clustering-based method to calibrate photometric redshift biases. In particular, we cross-correlate the weak lensi…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Redshift distributions of the weak lensing source galaxies

B. Hoyle, D. Gruen, G. M. Bernstein +135

We describe the derivation and validation of redshift distribution estimates and their uncertainties for the galaxies used as weak lensing sources in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Y…

A Study of Quasar Selection in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova fields

S. S. Tie, P. Martini, D. Mudd +75

We present a study of quasar selection using the DES supernova fields. We used a quasar catalog from an overlapping portion of the SDSS Stripe 82 region to quantify the completenes…

Redshift distributions of galaxies in the DES Science Verification shear catalogue and implications for weak lensing

C. Bonnett, M. A. Troxel, W. Hartley +104

We present photometric redshift estimates for galaxies used in the weak lensing analysis of the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification (DES SV) data. Four model- or machine learni…

redMaGiC: Selecting Luminous Red Galaxies from the DES Science Verification Data

E. Rozo, E. S. Rykoff, A. Abate +84

We introduce redMaGiC, an automated algorithm for selecting Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs). The algorithm was specifically developed to minimize photometric redshift uncertainties in…

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…
