Superluminous Supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey
C. R. Angus, M. Smith, M. Sullivan +72
We present a sample of 21 hydrogen-free superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I), and one hydrogen-rich SLSN (SLSN-II) detected during the five-year Dark Energy Survey (DES). These SNe,…
Finding high-redshift strong lenses in DES using convolutional neural networks
C. Jacobs, T. Collett, K. Glazebrook +63
We search Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 3 imaging data for galaxy-galaxy strong gravitational lenses using convolutional neural networks. We generate 250,000 simulated lenses at re…
The STRong lensing Insights into the Dark Energy Survey (STRIDES) 2016 follow-up campaign. II. New quasar lenses from double component fitting
T. Anguita, P. L. Schechter, N. Kuropatkin +56
We report upon the follow up of 34 candidate lensed quasars found in the Dark Energy Survey using NTT-EFOSC, Magellan-IMACS, KECK-ESI and SOAR-SAMI. These candidates were selected…
Rapidly evolving transients in the Dark Energy Survey
M. Pursiainen, M. Childress, M. Smith +79
We present the results of a search for rapidly evolving transients in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Programme. These events are characterized by fast light curve evolution (rise…
