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…

The Evolution of Active Galactic Nuclei in Clusters of Galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey

E. Bufanda, D. Hollowood, T. E. Jeltema +53

The correlation between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and environment provides important clues to AGN fueling and the relationship of black hole growth to galaxy evolution. In this…
