The STRong lensing Insights into the Dark Energy Survey (STRIDES) 2017/2018 follow-up campaign: Discovery of 10 lensed quasars and 10 quasar pairs

C. Lemon, M. W. Auger, R. McMahon +65

We report the results of the STRong lensing Insights from the Dark Energy Survey (STRIDES) follow-up campaign of the late 2017/early 2018 season. We obtained spectra of 65 lensed q…

Milky Way Satellite Census. II. Galaxy--Halo Connection Constraints Including the Impact of the Large Magellanic Cloud

E. O. Nadler, R. H. Wechsler, K. Bechtol +63

The population of Milky Way (MW) satellites contains the faintest known galaxies and thus provides essential insight into galaxy formation and dark matter microphysics. Here we com…

Milky Way Satellite Census. I. The Observational Selection Function for Milky Way Satellites in DES Y3 and Pan-STARRS DR1

A. Drlica-Wagner, K. Bechtol, S. Mau +55

We report the results of a systematic search for ultra-faint Milky Way satellite galaxies using data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and Pan-STARRS1 (PS1). Together, DES and PS1…

The Mystery of Photometric Twins DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy

M. Pursiainen, C. Gutierrez, P. Wiseman +80

We present an analysis of DES17X1boj and DES16E2bjy, two peculiar transients discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). They exhibit nearly identical double-peaked light curves wh…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: the lensing imprint of cosmic voids on the Cosmic Microwave Background

P. Vielzeuf, A. Kovács, U. Demirbozan +62

Cosmic voids gravitationally lens the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, resulting in a distinct imprint on degree scales. We use the simulated CMB lensing convergence ma…
