Cross-correlation of gravitational lensing from DES Science Verification data with SPT and Planck lensing
D. Kirk, Y. Omori, A. Benoit-Lévy +89
We measure the cross-correlation between weak lensing of galaxy images and of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The effects of gravitational lensing on different sources will…
Observation and Confirmation of Six Strong Lensing Systems in The Dark Energy Survey Science Verification Data
B. Nord, E. Buckley-Geer, H. Lin +89
We report the observation and confirmation of the first group- and cluster-scale strong gravitational lensing systems found in Dark Energy Survey (DES) data. Through visual inspect…
The mass-sheet degeneracy and time-delay cosmography: Analysis of the strong lens RXJ1131-1231
Simon Birrer, Adam Amara, Alexandre Refregier
We present extended modeling of the strong lens system RXJ1131-1231 with archival data in two HST bands in combination with existing line-of-sight contribution and velocity dispers…
Quantifying Concordance in Cosmology
Sebastian Seehars, Sebastian Grandis, Adam Amara +1
Quantifying the concordance between different cosmological experiments is important for testing the validity of theoretical models and systematics in the observations. In earlier w…
Information Gains from Cosmological Probes
S. Grandis, S. Seehars, A. Refregier +2
In light of the growing number of cosmological observations, it is important to develop versatile tools to quantify the constraining power and consistency of cosmological probes. O…
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…
