As large-scale international collaborations become the standard for astronomy research, a wealth of opportunities have emerged to create innovative education and public outreach (E…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cosmological Constraints from Cosmic Shear
M. A. Troxel, N. MacCrann, J. Zuntz +132
We use 26 million galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 1 shape catalogs over 1321 deg of the sky to produce the most significant measurement of cosmic shear in a gal…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Weak Lensing Shape Catalogues
J. Zuntz, E. Sheldon, S. Samuroff +104
We present two galaxy shape catalogues from the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 data set, covering 1500 square degrees with a median redshift of . The catalogues cover two main fie…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cosmological Constraints from Galaxy Clustering and Weak Lensing
DES Collaboration, T. M. C. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +197
We present cosmological results from a combined analysis of galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing, using 1321 deg of imaging data from the first year of the D…
