Digging deeper into the Southern skies: a compact Milky-Way companion discovered in first-year Dark Energy Survey data

E. Luque, A. Queiroz, B. Santiago +61

The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is a 5000 sq. degree survey in the southern hemisphere, which is rapidly reducing the existing north-south asymmetry in the census of MW satellites and…

Discovery of two gravitationally lensed quasars in the Dark Energy Survey

Adriano Agnello, Tommaso Treu, Fernanda Ostrovski +77

We present spectroscopic confirmation of two new lensed quasars via data obtained at the 6.5m Magellan/Baade Telescope. The lens candidates have been selected from the Dark Energy…

No galaxy left behind: accurate measurements with the faintest objects in the Dark Energy Survey

E. Suchyta, E. M. Huff, J. Aleksić +72

Accurate statistical measurement with large imaging surveys has traditionally required throwing away a sizable fraction of the data. This is because most measurements have have rel…

Stellar Kinematics and Metallicities in the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Reticulum II

J. D. Simon, A. Drlica-Wagner, T. S. Li +69

We present Magellan/M2FS, VLT/GIRAFFE, and Gemini South/GMOS spectroscopy of the newly discovered Milky Way satellite Reticulum II. Based on the spectra of 25 Ret II member stars s…
