Imprint of DES super-structures on the Cosmic Microwave Background

A. Kovács, C. Sánchez, J. García-Bellido +58

Small temperature anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background can be sourced by density perturbations via the late-time integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect. Large voids and superclus…

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…

Galaxy bias from galaxy-galaxy lensing in the DES Science Verification Data

J. Prat, C. Sánchez, R. Miquel +68

We present a measurement of galaxy-galaxy lensing around a magnitude-limited () sample of galaxies from the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification (DES-SV) data. We…

Inference from the small scales of cosmic shear with current and future Dark Energy Survey data

N. MacCrann, J. Aleksić, A. Amara +61

Cosmic shear is sensitive to fluctuations in the cosmological matter density field, including on small physical scales, where matter clustering is affected by baryonic physics in g…

Optical-SZE Scaling Relations for DES Optically Selected Clusters within the SPT-SZ Survey

A. Saro, S. Bocquet, J. Mohr +68

We study the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) signature in South Pole Telescope (SPT) data for an ensemble of 719 optically identified galaxy clusters selected from 124.6 deg of…

Testing the lognormality of the galaxy and weak lensing convergence distributions from Dark Energy Survey maps

L. Clerkin, D. Kirk, M. Manera +57

It is well known that the probability distribution function (PDF) of galaxy density contrast is approximately lognormal; whether the PDF of mass fluctuations derived from weak lens…
