Mapping the Tidal Disruption of the Hercules Dwarf: A Wide-Field DECam Imaging Search for RR Lyrae Stars
Christopher Garling, Beth Willman, David J. Sand +10
We investigate the hypothesized tidal disruption of the Hercules ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD). Previous tidal disruption studies of the Hercules UFD have been hindered by the hig…
Deep SOAR follow-up photometry of two Milky Way outer-halo companions discovered with Dark Energy Survey
E. Luque, B. Santiago, A. Pieres +48
We report the discovery of a new star cluster, DES 3, in the constellation of Indus, and deeper observations of the previously identified satellite DES J0222.75217 (Eridanus III…
DES15E2mlf: A Spectroscopically Confirmed Superluminous Supernova that Exploded 3.5 Gyr After the Big Bang
Y. -C. Pan, R. J. Foley, M. Smith +63
We present the Dark Energy Survey (DES) discovery of DES15E2mlf, the most distant superluminous supernova (SLSN) spectroscopically confirmed to date. The light curves and Gemini sp…
The predicted luminous satellite populations around SMC and LMC-mass galaxies - A missing satellite problem around the LMC?
Gregory A. Dooley, Annika H. G. Peter, Jeffrey L. Carlin +3
Recent discovery of many dwarf satellite galaxies in the direction of the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC) provokes questions of their origins, and what they can rev…
Discovery of the Lensed Quasar System DES J0408-5354
H. Lin, E. Buckley-Geer, A. Agnello +78
We report the discovery and spectroscopic confirmation of the quad-like lensed quasar system DES J0408-5354 found in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 1 (Y1) data. This system was…
Environmental dependence of the galaxy stellar mass function in the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification Data
J. Etherington, D. Thomas, C. Maraston +61
Measurements of the galaxy stellar mass function are crucial to understand the formation of galaxies in the Universe. In a hierarchical clustering paradigm it is plausible that the…
