ADDGALS: Simulated Sky Catalogs for Wide Field Galaxy Surveys
Risa H. Wechsler, Joseph DeRose, Michael T. Busha +3
We present a method for creating simulated galaxy catalogs with realistic galaxy luminosities, broad-band colors, and projected clustering over large cosmic volumes. The technique,…
The Buzzard Flock: Dark Energy Survey Synthetic Sky Catalogs
Joseph DeRose, Risa H. Wechsler, Matthew R. Becker +52
We present a suite of 18 synthetic sky catalogs designed to support science analysis of galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES Y1) data. For each catalog, we use a computat…
DES Y1 Results: Validating cosmological parameter estimation using simulated Dark Energy Surveys
N. MacCrann, J. DeRose, R. H. Wechsler +76
We use mock galaxy survey simulations designed to resemble the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES Y1) data to validate and inform cosmological parameter estimation. When similar analys…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Curved-Sky Weak Lensing Mass Map
C. Chang, A. Pujol, B. Mawdsley +117
We construct the largest curved-sky galaxy weak lensing mass map to date from the DES first-year (DES Y1) data. The map, about 10 times larger than previous work, is constructed ov…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Redshift distributions of the weak lensing source galaxies
B. Hoyle, D. Gruen, G. M. Bernstein +135
We describe the derivation and validation of redshift distribution estimates and their uncertainties for the galaxies used as weak lensing sources in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Y…
SPOKES: an End-to-End Simulation Facility for Spectroscopic Cosmological Surveys
B. Nord, A. Amara, A. Refregier +15
The nature of dark matter, dark energy and large-scale gravity pose some of the most pressing questions in cosmology today. These fundamental questions require highly precise measu…
