Dark Energy Survey Year 6 Results: Redshift Calibration of the Weak Lensing Source Galaxies
B. Yin, A. Amon, A. Campos +95
Determining the distribution of redshifts for galaxies in wide-field photometric surveys is essential for robust cosmological studies of weak gravitational lensing. We present the…
Dark Energy Survey: DESI-Independent Angular BAO Measurement
J. Mena-Fernández, S. Avila, A. Porredon +80
We present a measurement of the angular baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) scale from the completed Dark Energy Survey (DES) dataset excluding the area of overlap with the Dark Ener…
Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: optimized CDM simulation-based inference with weak lensing map-level hybrid statistics
J. Williamson, T. L. Makinen, N. Porqueres +85
We present cosmological constraints from the Dark Energy Survey Year 3 (DES Y3) weak lensing data using hierarchical hybrid statistics within a Bayesian simulation-based inference…
AMPM II. A Lunar-Mass Primordial Black Hole Microlensing Candidate in the Milky Way Halo
Renee Key, Edward N. Taylor, Ken C. Freeman +5
Primordial Black Holes (PBH) are hypothesised to form during inflation and have long been considered a candidate for compact dark matter. Gravitational microlensing is known as a p…
AMPM I. A Targeted Search for Asteroid Mass Primordial Black Hole Microlenses
Renee Key, Edward N. Taylor, Ken C. Freeman +5
Gravitational microlensing is a powerful technique for constraining the abundance of dark matter in asteroid mass to supermassive primordial black holes at masses of $-11 \lesssim…
Robust Measurement of Stellar Streams Around the Milky Way: Correcting Spatially Variable Observational Selection Effects in Optical Imaging Surveys
K. K. Boone, P. S. Ferguson, M. Tabbutt +47
Observations of density variations in stellar streams are a promising probe of low-mass dark matter substructure in the Milky Way. However, survey systematics such as variations in…
