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…

Searching for Dark Matter Annihilation in Recently Discovered Milky Way Satellites with Fermi-LAT

The Fermi-LAT, DES Collaborations, A. Albert +70

We search for excess gamma-ray emission coincident with the positions of confirmed and candidate Milky Way satellite galaxies using 6 years of data from the Fermi Large Area Telesc…

Weak lensing magnification in the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification Data

M. Garcia-Fernandez, E. Sánchez, I. Sevilla-Noarbe +68

In this paper the effect of weak lensing magnification on galaxy number counts is studied by cross-correlating the positions of two galaxy samples, separated by redshift, using dat…

A Search for Kilonovae in the Dark Energy Survey

Z. Doctor, R. Kessler, H. Y. Chen +68

The coalescence of a binary neutron star (BNS) pair is expected to produce gravitational waves (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation, both of which may be detectable with current…

Weak-lensing mass calibration of redMaPPer galaxy clusters in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data

P. Melchior, D. Gruen, T. McClintock +78

We use weak-lensing shear measurements to determine the mean mass of optically selected galaxy clusters in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data. In a blinded analysis, we s…
