redMaGiC: Selecting Luminous Red Galaxies from the DES Science Verification Data
E. Rozo, E. S. Rykoff, A. Abate +84
We introduce redMaGiC, an automated algorithm for selecting Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs). The algorithm was specifically developed to minimize photometric redshift uncertainties in…
The Difference Imaging Pipeline for the Transient Search in the Dark Energy Survey
R. Kessler, J. Marriner, M. Childress +60
We describe the difference imaging pipeline (DiffImg) used to detect transients in deep images from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova program (DES-SN) in its first observing season…
The Dark Energy Camera
B. Flaugher, H. T. Diehl, K. Honscheid +115
The Dark Energy Camera is a new imager with a 2.2-degree diameter field of view mounted at the prime focus of the Victor M. Blanco 4-meter telescope on Cerro Tololo near La Serena,…
Automated Transient Identification in the Dark Energy Survey
D. A. Goldstein, C. B. D'Andrea, J. A. Fischer +64
We describe an algorithm for identifying point-source transients and moving objects on reference-subtracted optical images containing artifacts of processing and instrumentation. T…
