A stellar over-density associated with the Small Magellanic Cloud
A. Pieres, B. X. Santiago, A. Drlica-Wagner +64
We report the discovery of a stellar over-density 8 north of the center of the Small Magellanic Cloud (Small Magellanic Cloud Northern Over-Density; SMCNOD) using data fr…
A Study of Quasar Selection in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova fields
S. S. Tie, P. Martini, D. Mudd +75
We present a study of quasar selection using the DES supernova fields. We used a quasar catalog from an overlapping portion of the SDSS Stripe 82 region to quantify the completenes…
Farthest Neighbor: The Distant Milky Way Satellite Eridanus II
T. S. Li, J. D. Simon, A. Drlica-Wagner +56
We present Magellan/IMACS spectroscopy of the recently-discovered Milky Way satellite Eridanus II (Eri II). We identify 28 member stars in Eri II, from which we measure a systemic…
Nearest Neighbor: The Low-Mass Milky Way Satellite Tucana III
J. D. Simon, T. S. Li, A. Drlica-Wagner +56
We present Magellan/IMACS spectroscopy of the recently discovered Milky Way satellite Tucana III (Tuc III). We identify 26 member stars in Tuc III, from which we measure a mean rad…
The Dark Energy Survey view of the Sagittarius stream: discovery of two faint stellar system candidates
E. Luque, A. Pieres, B. Santiago +63
We report the discovery of two new candidate stellar systems in the constellation of Cetus using the data from the first two years of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). The objects, DES…
VDES J2325-5229 a z=2.7 gravitationally lensed quasar discovered using morphology independent supervised machine learning
Fernanda Ostrovski, Richard G. McMahon, Andrew J. Connolly +56
We present the discovery and preliminary characterization of a gravitationally lensed quasar with a source redshift and image separation of lensed by a foregrou…
Discovery of a z=0.65 Post-Starburst BAL Quasar in the DES Supernova Fields
Dale Mudd, Paul Martini, Suk Sien Tie +55
We present the discovery of a z=0.65 low-ionization broad absorption line (LoBAL) quasar in a post-starburst galaxy in data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and spectroscopy from…
Comparing Dark Energy Survey and HST-CLASH observations of the galaxy cluster RXC J2248.7-4431: implications for stellar mass versus dark matter
A. Palmese, O. Lahav, M. Banerji +65
We derive the stellar mass fraction in the galaxy cluster RXC J2248.7-4431 observed with the Dark Energy Survey (DES) during the Science Verification period. We compare the stellar…
