The HST See Change Program: I. Survey Design, Pipeline, and Supernova Discoveries

Brian Hayden, David Rubin, Kyle Boone +53

The See Change survey was designed to make cosmological measurements by efficiently discovering high-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and improving cluster mass measureme…

Discovery of a Candidate Binary Supermassive Black Hole in a Periodic Quasar from Circumbinary Accretion Variability

Wei-Ting Liao, Yu-Ching Chen, Xin Liu +68

Binary supermassive black holes (BSBHs) are expected to be a generic byproduct from hierarchical galaxy formation. The final coalescence of BSBHs is thought to be the loudest gravi…

Observation and Confirmation of Nine Strong Lensing Systems in Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Data

B. Nord, E. Buckley-Geer, H. Lin +63

We describe the observation and confirmation of \nbconfirmtext\ new strong gravitational lenses discovered in Year 1 data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We created candidate li…

Identification of RR Lyrae stars in multiband, sparsely-sampled data from the Dark Energy Survey using template fitting and Random Forest classification

K. M. Stringer, J. P. Long, L. M. Macri +75

Many studies have shown that RR Lyrae variable stars (RRL) are powerful stellar tracers of Galactic halo structure and satellite galaxies. The Dark Energy Survey (DES), with its de…

Three new VHS-DES Quasars at 6.7 < z < 6.9 and Emission Line Properties at z > 6.5

S. L. Reed, M. Banerji, G. D. Becker +58

We report the results from a search for z > 6.5 quasars using the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 3 dataset combined with the VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS) and WISE All-Sky Survey. O…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 results: Validation of weak lensing cluster member contamination estimates from P(z) decomposition

T. N. Varga, J. DeRose, D. Gruen +68

Weak lensing source galaxy catalogs used in estimating the masses of galaxy clusters can be heavily contaminated by cluster members, prohibiting accurate mass calibration. In this…
