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…

Wide-Field Lensing Mass Maps from DES Science Verification Data

C. Chang, V. Vikram, B. Jain +81

We present a mass map reconstructed from weak gravitational lensing shear measurements over 139 sq. deg from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Science Verification data. The mass map pr…

Wide-Field Lensing Mass Maps from DES Science Verification Data: Methodology and Detailed Analysis

V. Vikram, C. Chang, B. Jain +91

Weak gravitational lensing allows one to reconstruct the spatial distribution of the projected mass density across the sky. These "mass maps" provide a powerful tool for studying c…
