Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer exposure time calculator for end-to-end simulator: to optimizing spectrograph design and observing simulation
Tae-Geun Ji, Jennifer Sobeck, Changgon Kim +8
The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE) project will provide multi-object spectroscopy in the optical and near-infrared bands using an 11.25-m aperture telescope, repurposing the…
First Cosmology Results Using Type Ia Supernovae From the Dark Energy Survey: Photometric Pipeline and Light Curve Data Release
D. Brout, M. Sako, D. Scolnic +89
We present griz light curves of 251 Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) from the first 3 years of the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program's (DES-SN) spectroscopically classified sample. T…
Astrometric calibration and performance of the Dark Energy Camera
G. M. Bernstein, R. Armstrong, A. A. Plazas +53
We characterize the ability of the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) to perform relative astrometry across its 500~Mpix, 3 deg^2 science field of view, and across 4 years of operation. Th…
The Difference Imaging Pipeline for the Transient Search in the Dark Energy Survey
R. Kessler, J. Marriner, M. Childress +60
We describe the difference imaging pipeline (DiffImg) used to detect transients in deep images from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova program (DES-SN) in its first observing season…
The Dark Energy Camera
B. Flaugher, H. T. Diehl, K. Honscheid +115
The Dark Energy Camera is a new imager with a 2.2-degree diameter field of view mounted at the prime focus of the Victor M. Blanco 4-meter telescope on Cerro Tololo near La Serena,…
Automated Transient Identification in the Dark Energy Survey
D. A. Goldstein, C. B. D'Andrea, J. A. Fischer +64
We describe an algorithm for identifying point-source transients and moving objects on reference-subtracted optical images containing artifacts of processing and instrumentation. T…
