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…
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…
Observation of Two New L4 Neptune Trojans in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Fields
D. W. Gerdes, R. J. Jennings, G. M. Bernstein +62
We report the discovery of the eighth and ninth known Trojans in stable orbits around Neptune's leading Lagrange point, L4. The objects 2014 QO and 2014 QP were det…
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…
